I don’t think you should get too upset about something which doesn’t hang together or make sense though.

He’s just making himself look an idiot.

I suspect these disgruntled neanderthals probably are ticked off because they can’t get a date (I mean, really, what self-respecting woman would put herself through that?) and/or because they lost out on a promotion to a more qualified, more-intelligent, more worthy female.
What absolute rubbish!

Do you think we should reveal to them that it’s really just because they learned to cook turnips?

Please say you know his name and address so you can go give him a hard kick in the balls as a thank you from a grateful little woman raised out of drudgery

Here’s the reality of ‘having it all’. In the UK you need two incomes to have any hope of buying a house and educating your children. If (like me) that means your husband works away most of the time, you are left raising a family, cleaning a home, running a business, and – oh, trying to knock out the odd novel y’know because little women have little dreams. I’m not whining, I’m sure as hell not an underclass, and I don’t want ‘more’.

The reality is the sheer cost of living has escalated so much here that if you want the basics (home, health,. education/a good start for your kids) women are working twice as hard as they ever had to. Damn, I might just move to Canada and whupp his arse myself.

And a tip of my beribboned bonnet to the wonderful and gracious patriarchy which has made my life so blissfully happy with the advances they have made on my behalf.
Oh you shouldn’t have, sirs!
Good gracious me, what can I do to thank you fine gentlemen properly?

I am quite certain that no respectable paper would have used real ink and paper on that letter. The internet means all sorts of vile stupidity gets an airing. I am okay with it being out there, but I don’t waste my time reading it. I guess my sense of humour doesn’t extend to finding that sort of thing funny.

Oh yes, they actually print them. Left-most column, first page of the section they call Local Conversation (which includes editorials and local news), every day of the week. Every so often an old-school journalist (or a level-headed reader, cough) challenges the practice. But then all the Zing!ers jump down that person’s throat, and management caves in, and the cycle continues. (Hrooom, hrooom.)

Can’t find it at Amazon, but a collection came out several years ago of letters to the editor of an English newspaper; title was something about a bird, which (or whose call) had been inaccurately described in an article of a few days’ previous. Give me charming and dotty any day over willfully stupid, crazy, and annoying.

Well, I’m assuming all those he-men that are taking credit for all of those wonderful advancements are also taking credit for things like, oh, global warming, the economic crisis and Paris Hilton’s status as a celebrity.

You’re also assuming there are women out there stupid enough to marry these slack-jawed troglodytes. Mom is washing their underwear.

If Mom is washing their frillies, then why are they so pissed at womenkind? And, yes, I have no problem in blaming men for Paris Hilton’s 15 interminable minutes of fame. I’m pretty sure there weren’t any women downloading that sex tape … Otherwise, I rather like what men have done for us, especially our nearest and dearest!
