I Love Lucy Episode – Equal Rights

[ResidentEvil7Participant 9550]

I like classic black and white comedy shows. One of them is I Love Lucy, which I’m watching as I’m typing this. Anyway, I was watching this one episode called “Equal Rights.” It starts off with Lucy, Ricky, Ethel and Fred wanting to go out to dinner one night, Lucy is doing “woman stuff” to get herself ready and is holding everyone up. Then she decides on her own where she wants to go. Ricky loses his temper with her, saying that they will run the household like they do in Cuba where the man is the boss and the woman does what she’s told. That is when the equal rights dispute starts. Lucy says that this is the United States and she has her rights. Ethel says “you men say we have equal rights, but you don’t let us use them” but Fred listed some basic rights “what do you mean? you get to vote, you get to box, you wear pants, you do everything we do except go into the steam room at the YMCA.” Ricky says that he’s all for woman having all the rights they want, but as long as they “stay in their place.” So they all agree on equal rights, not knowing that the woman were going to regret it the rest of the night.

When they decide to leave for dinner, the guys didn’t put on the coats on their wives. Equal rights. Then as they leave, the men go through the door first. Equal rights. At dinner, the men ordered their meals first, interrupting the wives. You know how woman get out their compacts and fix their faces? Well this time, the men were at the table shaving instead. Here is where it starts getting good; when it came to the bill, all 4 of them got separate checks. Ricky reminded Lucy and Ethel of equal rights, and that includes paying your own way just like men do. The wives didn’t have any money. So the guys leave the restaurant alone, leaving the wives to do mountain and mountains of dirty dishes for hours. That was the perfect comeback. The downside is that Lucy and Ethel called up the guys at home, pretending to be held up, they come back worried, pretended to be thieves themselves until the cops came and the wives had them arrested.

So the moral the story is; if you’re going to demand something from someone or from society, think it over first, because you just might regret it. It’s like that old saying: be careful what you wish for, you just might end up getting it. Equal rights is what it sounds like.

My dad told me a true story about the women’s movement back in the 70s, where women all over demanded equal rights, and ended up regretting it for the same reasons I exampled in that I Love Lucy episode. They demanded equal rights, and shortly later woman no longer had men hold open doors for them, men went first, men didn’t put on their wives coats, woman had to pay for their own meals, their own share of the bill, and the list goes on and on. So the woman’s movement regretted those equal rights, but they still do make demands from us and expect it done.

I take a positive delight in cramming equal rights down every whining woman’s throat every chance I get. Every “Because vagina” excuse gets called out as the hypocrisy it is just as I routinely “mansplain” the reasons behind the “lack” of “good men”.

Chivalry died a long time ago and women alone murdered it.

They’ve bitched about this issue for over 60 years now, so we should start giving them their rights good and hard.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.
