With unemployment at 10.2%, what will happen by the end of Obama's first term?



From the negative reaction I’ve received from cranky women and toxic feminists, as well as the tremendous positive responses/confessions from honest and repentant ex- men emasculators, I think I’m on to something with my “How Wives Can Kill Their Marriage” series.

In regards to screeching female critics of my column, you and I both know that if I went to town on husbands (which I have many times . . . check my archives) everything would be cool. I would be loved and hailed by all the misandrists far and wide. Yes, the man haters would be giddy. However, when I turn my guns on the girls for their garish behavior towards their husbands, all of a sudden I’m a sexist, or a homo, or a . . . a . . . a something.

What’s the matter? Can’t take the heat? Listen, little Miss Can’t Do Wrong, I’m here to tell you that, believe it or not, you’re capable and oft times culpable for creating for your mate a living hell that is only surpassed by an eternal one.

For those women who want to become more efficient at eroding your husband’s spirit, here are four more additional acrimonious assets that’ll drive your hubby to drink massive volumes of alcohol and prefer angry leopard wrestling, listening to Yoko Ono yodel or Chinese water torture to your presence.

Having covered 1) Nag Your Husband and 2) Disparage Him in Public in my last column, I now offer you, the man-eater, points three through six for your bitter arsenal.

3. Keep Him On a Short Leash. Third on my list for how you, the Satan woman, can kill your marriage is to place your husband on a short leash. Better yet, a choke chain. Your goal is three-fold: make your man to feel, fear and heel to your wrath. You’ve got to verbally shackle him to your commands. Make him believe like he can’t sit, stand, play, think, speak or spend money unless you, the queen condor, allow him to.

By short leashing your husband with an exacting set of laws, you will, in short order, morph in his head from being his lover to being his mother. This masochistic machination of insane restrictions will make your man feel like a stupid son, controlled by you, his new petulant mommy.

Forever gone will be the friend, fan, soul mate and confidant stuff that initially drew the two of you together. Once again, pure gold here, girls . . . pure gold. Listen, using this tip might not produce immediate devastating effects upon your man, but don’t lose heart. It’ll work, and he’ll turn into a newt or move into the corner of your attic or joyfully leave you in the dust. Either way, this ditty will suck the wind right out of your marriage sails.

4. Become a Drama Queen. Another thing that’ll make your husband long to be stranded in the Mojave Desert with no food or sun screen and only a rabid Rottweiler to keep him company is, become a drama mama. Yes, your goal, ghoulfriend, is to ratchet up every situation so that you emotionally drain your man. Make the atmosphere of your home tense. Make everything, especially the small things, turn into a five alarm fire.

The thing drama queens do so effectively is jack up the stress levels in the relationship. This, naturally, robs the relationship of the fertile presence of peace. This redlining, high RPM spirit will stretch his nerves more out of shape than the elastic in Grosie O’Donnell’s XXXXL panties. Continued...

Leadership by a Strong woman
Encouragement done correctly is like organic fertilizer to the soul. It softens the soil it increases the nutrients it allows the one whom is being nurtured to grow. Adults need encouragement as much as children. The harshness of tounge is one thing the denying compliments is another. I have had strong willed lady bosses who knew when and where to place the praise when to crack a joke and when to issue a subtle order. Racheal Williams was dear old mom...you never crossed her she could ram a large dagger into your back. Yet she never asked any person to do something she would not do. In chaotic situations SHE WAS IN CHARGE. The fact that she did not nag meant when she issued a terse command it rolled off her lips like thunder. When a subordinate betrayed the trust and team spirit things happened. She would suspend those the attitude how dare they betray us I will take care of it. She would personally would tell abusive customers where to go and that she would gladly call the cops. HOW DARE SOMEBODY TREAT HER CREW WITH PROFANITY. I would harldy call her a weak woman. She applied encouragement. She inspired quiet trust by her subordinates. Those of us who worked for her were almot fanatical in our devotion to her. She did some of the most disgusting tasks at the restaurant from time to time. She lead by example. You can be quite strong without being toxic. She in another era would have been called a Great Dame.

Ladies if you want to drag someone with you and someone to be loyal to you and to do what you say and not to complain about being dressed...get a dog.

Men are no less human beings then women are. Maybe we feel more secure if the house remains unchanged for long periods of time? Maybe that stability builds security? Shawn Colvin's "You Are In the Arms Of Angel" shows what men desire. There is a country song that states "I got a good woman and we got a good fire going" it is those moments when a woman who is adored as a friend a lover and soul mate illicit the greatest praise from a man. Trust me the seat will go down. A woman who knows how to nurture might be going through the radio and on a talk station hearing her man brag about how good she is! He will find himself dilligently trying to study with great effort how to make her world better and how to bring a smile to her face. A smile of contentment an expression of thanks and pleasure by her will be music to his ears and honey to his soul. A woman who lets him play with the boys some. A woman who lets a man dress up at times without the most fashion sense. A woman who will not nag all the time about his diet. This is a desireable woman.

I had a cat once. She was demanding but she was sweet about her demands. When her demands were met she was affectionate and warm. She made no secret what her wants and needs were. She also made no secret her pleasure when they were met.

If only some human beings would be as smart.

Satire
Oh I didn't know this column was supposed to be funny! Well, I guess I'm one of those emasculating toxic females who just can't take a joke. Gee, it seems the male ego is more fragile than I thought. Forgive me--I'm either having hot flashes or the vapors. Of course venomous women love emasculating males--it's all hormonal and genetic. We're preprogrammed for it.
