A female friend just posted this tripe to FB.  I’m looking at the men I know in my life who were successful and got married.  Funny thing, they were ALL successful (financially) before marriage.  Like what a man can’t be successful without a woman?  Those married guys are now supporting women who have decided to become “stay at home” moms and women who pursue easy part time jobs rather than resuming their careers.

Women act like kids and marriage are some sort of gift that they bestow upon us that somehow contributes to a man’s success?  They don’t consider the possiblity that these things actually…hold him back from achieving MORE success?

Men have always been successful … with or without women.

Ask your friend on Facebook to name the men they’ve made successful.

Well some the successful men will still be around and the women ….. well …. who cares … not me. Men have always been successful … with or without women. Ask your friend on Facebook to name the men they’ve made successful.

I’m not going to start drama with her.  She’s nice, but she’s a Liberal Feminist (not a radical one) who always posts women empowerment crap.  She would just say she made her husband more successful and a better father.  To her credit they do seem to be a good family and she’s loyal to her husband as far as I can tell.

“Oh no. She also got personal maintenance of £406,500 a year from her ex’s future earnings. This, she said, was because she had ‘encouraged’ him to be a good midfielder.”

Ahh yes, I see she “contributed” to his success by “encouraging him to be good”.

“Behind every successful man, there is a woman.” This is because his wallet is in his back pocket.

The vast majority of the time, I’m trying to determine what value each party brings to the relationship.

Wives who stay at home raise the kids and some might actually cook and clean house.  Ok grea, but then what about when the kids are old enough to be in school and their careers are dead so they still stay at home?  What value do they provide then other than draining resources.  After a certain point the value of a stay at home parent is diminishing returns.

Women always make attempts to deal in the intangible.

They not only love, but must live in realms where nothing can be truly validated or is quantifiable.

It’s no shock that they suck in STEM and have to gravitate to the arts.  God forbid they actually have to even turn a paper in where they have to take some of their mental diarrhea and actually turn it into something where you can say: “Look.  See?  Proof.”

Personally, I am less inclined with arguing against something, than I am to change what it means to be what I see is more accurate.
