Recieved the following amusing yet ultimately depressing comment from one 'andy brown' yesterday on a linklog post of mine ages ago about the horribly misogynistic nomarriage.com (sample quote: "A woman is just a marketing campaign for her vagina").
All women ARE bitches, whether it's genetic or their friends / mothers / grandmothers teachings.
They'll screw u every chance you get !!!!!!
Whoever thinks it really is a man's world has got their head up their arse.
Out of FOUR relationships, I've had my money, furniture and kids taken by those fuckers by two of them. The other two screwed around. Fuck 'em.
I just wish i'd have had sons to pass this onto. "use them before they use you".
My mother has a similar attitude. She once went on a day trip to Calais in the 1960s and was served rather brusquely in a cafe and therefore is now against Britain joining the Euro.
I think the law of averages dictates that during a dating lifetime you are allowed a couple of genuinely nightmarish girlfriends whose memory you may blaspheme (though if you're still doing it for so long after the event I think you have problems unconnected to your experience with them), but if your record is 100% 'bitches' I think it's time you looked, at least in passing, towards your own behaviour as having contributed towards the unfortunate outcome. As the splendid Cynthia Heimel puts it:
If Madge was a real bitch who took him for all he was worth, and Heather was a total basket case who just used him and abused him, and Fiona, well, she was one crazy lady, he wouldn't be surprised if she were a drug addict or worse....because we know it takes two to tango. A man is allowed one harridan in his early twenties, but then he must admit to equal responsibility. There is nothing more dangerous than someone who thinks of himself as a victim. Victims feel it's within their rights to fuck over everyone.
A man who can only see that his negative experiences represent 100% of the relationships he's ever had, rather than the fact that this is actually only a sample of four women in three billion - which even if he was a truly innocent party in witness to their atrocious behaviour and therefore genuinely 'unlucky' isn't a healthy sample with which to be drawing such widesweeping conclusions - is not one whose opinions upon the male/female power struggle in this world (or even his own relationships) can be usefully relied upon. Unfortunately for his potential sons, and the women they'll be taught to use.
Though faced with a man so profligate with his exclaimation marks, I'd be screwing around too.
