Thread: All you men need to read this and live this!!

btw, I am not gonna cast judgement b/c I used to think Tom's rules were awesome, when I was like 18, but I mean if you need a set of rules to follow to the letter then you're in trouble. yes you should be cautious and use your head, but the rest of this shit is kindof ridiculous. following these rules is defintely gonna attract a certain kind of chick anyways.

We're Not Gonna Take It! by Dan Merchant Aside from Christians and fat people, who takes a bigger beating in the media than American husbands and fathers? And since lots of husbands are also Christian and fat, we are literally getting the shit kicked out of us from every possible angle. I'm not saying we don't have a sense of humor but let's have a little balance and fairness here. When is the last time you heard a joke begin with, "So these three stay-at-home moms walk into a bar . . . ?" And by the way, why do these women have free time to walk into a bar in the middle of the day? Because their kids are at a play date and their husbands are at work funding their lavish lifestyles. Freeloading lushes.

So I was watching this funny show called The Family Guy, a cartoon on the Fox Network, when it occurred to me that all the jokes were at the expense of the stupid father. Okay, fine, but it got me thinking, Homer Simpson, the husband and provider, is the butt of all the jokes on The Simpsons, and Ray Romano was the butt of the jokes on Everybody Loves Raymond, and the trigger-happy doofus on American Dad and, wait a minute here, the housewives are the heroines of all these shows. I couldn't think of a single show on television that didn't portray the Dad as a complete fucking, self-involved idiot. And, yeah, I would usually consider that description a compliment . . . because I, like you, have been programmed by the media to believe that my role in life is less valuable than everyone else's. Hey, note to all you smart-ass, twenty-something Harvard grads writing these anti-husband jokes, one day you will wake up, your balls placed on the mantle by your wives and you will cry out, "My God, what have I done? Forgive me for the pain I've caused." You've been played by the network execs you think you are bucking. You have been selling proverbial crack to grade-schoolers and you are not above the law, my friends.

And by the way, I think Who's the Boss or My Two Dads may have started this whole man-bashing trend in sitcoms. Think about it, before we had The Brady Bunch and Leave It to Beaver present Mike Brady and Ward Cleaver as successful, competent, caring family men. Never mind that Mike Brady turned out to be gay and Ward, up further study, may have been doped up on Valium in order to keep from bitch-slapping the Beaver every time he asked a stupid question. But compare those role models to Tony Danza working as a nanny for a kick-butt professional woman, that set us back about a half-century in the respect department. And what about those two dads? Paul Riser and that guy from BJ and the Bear (always uncomfortable with the implications of that show title) both vying to play the role of mommy. I can't even quantify the emotional and psychological damage those shows inflicted on impressionable young boys. And yes, the parents of the wanks who wrote those shows cried out, just before swallowing a shotgun, "I paid for Harvard so Junior could write on Who's the Boss?" Nice going, geniuses.

Women are overcoming years of injustice and inequality, being a stay-at-home mom is the hardest job on the planet, children are the future, and going to work everyday is just a man's excuse to get out of the house. Isn't that how we're made to feel? Do you feel guilty when you lean on your shovel for ten seconds to say, "Hey, Bill, Seahawks rolled yesterday, do you think they can get it done in the playoffs this year?" Do you feel like you're playing hooky from home if you take the sports page into the executive crapper for five minutes? When did having a moment's peace become a crime against humanity?

And now we have this know-it-all columnist Maureen Dowd pimping her new book Are Men Necessary? I read that title and just about dropped a load right there in Borders. Are men necessary? Subtle Maureen, what are you really trying to say? What's her follow-up book going to be? What Do You Call a Million Men at the Bottom of the Sea? A Good Start. Or, I Don't Need Your Sperm, Dick Weed, or maybe, I'm a Cranky 53-Year-Old Single Woman and I Want to Start My Life Over as a Cheerleader. How can such a blatant, outrageous attack go unchallenged? Well my friends, that is exactly what the Husbands United Institute is for. Such manipulative aggression will no longer go unchecked. We've spent the past couple decades being conditioned not to hit back. Husbands have been a static target, leaning against the ropes, being pounded into submission, trying to convince ourselves the body blows didn't hurt. Are men necessary? Kiss my ass, Mo. Maybe you can sit and spin on your Pulitzer Prize and be satisfied, good for you, keep it to yourself or face the wrath of the Husbands United. We aren't going to listen to your crap anymore and we won't stand for you brainwashing any more of our wives. Media be warned, here we come.

Dan Merchant,
Co-Executive Director, Husbands United Institute

Uguly broke guys need to follow these rules is really what you are saying.

What about the years before laykis was around? Guys were getting laid.

The guy doesn't have to be a total ass either, if he is good looking and charming girls will sleep with him. If he is uguly he has to be nice.

There are a lot of girls that will sleep with guys just based on looks.
i was one of them. Stupid me I should have went for money.
