Christians and others are beheaded today.
Just a reminder.

Is this in ebonics? ‘Cause it doesn’t make a lot of sense.
The country I was born in is gone, it would seem.
I’d take it as ‘miss sashay’ is honing in on my man and making my ass look bad.
My plate ain’t broke and it don’t need fixing.
But my shirt sure needs ironing.
I don’t mind fixin’ my mans plate...as long as my husband isn’t around.
Its never been a problem in my family. I fix my own damn plate or stay hungry.
We even had one black kid at the picnic yesterday and he fixed his own plate too. (My niece is dating the minister’s son. He’s a good solid kid)
The only satisfactory marital situation is for the man to be a slave to his wife when at home. Women and homosexuals are being stoked for being the image of the ruling class. It won’t happen. Men will always actually rule but it is useful for total rulers to hobble the population and minimize opposition by setting up women and homosexuals as the ruling class and continuing to shame and debase the masses of men.
Three, who is this crazy woman who doesn’t know him or me from Adam and Eve, who takes it upon herself to do something as intimate as fix his plate?
So, there are a lot of problems. If she is not the "plate fixing kind of woman"; shouldn't he know that and get his own plate. If she is at the table with the food, just for convienence sake, or, just to do something nice for her husband; couldn't she just put some food on a plate and give it to him.
Mostly, I see a situation that didn't need to occur if everyone there had acted a bit more like an adult.
Huh? Is this that same old ‘Make Me a Sammich’ cr@p? LOL!
Seriously, I have fixed plenty of MEALS for men through the years, but they’ve all been fully capable of filling their own plates. Are we supposed to cut their meat for them, too? Chew it? Regurgitate?
Is this some cultural thing I’ve missed? I don’t remember ANY woman in my family fixing a plate for their husbands.
They fixed plates for the CHILDREN, though. ;)
If he’s cooking and I want to make sure he gets his food, hell yes I’ll fix his plate. If it’s a buffet line and we both go through each gets his/her own plate but once sitting down, if we’ve forgotten something, a drink, napkin, whatever, either one of us will get it for the other. If he’s tired, I’ll fix him dinner and his plate and clean up. Vice versa. What on earth is the big deal. Sad.
I remember coming back from an outdoor concert three miles away and we stopped so we could go to the bathroom. Of course tons of other people were there and lined up to use the bathroom and of course the ladies’ line was longer. This big masculine looking woman strode up and started bullying the men out of the way and cutting in their line to use their bathroom. I blocked her. I think if a man had tried to block her it would have ended poorly but there was no way I was going to let her block Mr. Mercat and my 70 year old brother from their turn to pee. She went quietly.
I love my husband and enjoy fixing his plate. He does not expect or demand it.
It didn’t bother me that my ex wife never did anything for me. I never asked and she didn’t offer, but it urns out she was too stupid to learn to leave the toilet seat up and one day I just threw her lazy inconsiderate ass out.
His plate was broken?
This is a debate?! We’ve always followed the “while you’re up” rule. Sometimes I fix her plate, sometimes she fixes mine, sometimes we’re on our own. People get too hung up on stupid crap.
I’m a long-married woman. I would love to “fix a plate” for my husband anytime, knowing that there is many a widow out there who would give anything to “fix” her husband’s plate even once again. Our time together is precious and fleeting. People tie themselves into knots over things like this, but in marriage, we are to serve each other in Christ. Anyway, I’m pretty sure my husband would be glad to “fix” a plate for me, too, if I asked. If we both “fixed a plate for the other, then we could swap plates at the end of the buffet line and be happy with what we had to eat!
“something as intimate as fixing his plate...”
That is just weird, imho. Fixing a plate is intimate? Alrighty then.
Good grief. With all the serious damage to our Constitution, society and country going on, people are arguing about crap like this?
To me, this a simple expression of love, kindness and consideration. I would not ask my wife to ‘fix me a plate’ unless I was exhausted, not feeling well or injured. And she would do it, happily. Even if I was just feeling fine. I would do the same for her, for any reason under the sun. We enjoy doing things for one another.
As for someone outside the family making such an offer, I don’t have an problem with that, either. My answer would be either ‘No, thanks’ or ‘Thank you - that’s very kind of you!’
I only have an issue if someone is chronically lazy or demanding. Those people need to learn to do things for themselves. Others deserve consideration and occasional acts of kindness.
