Why Women Still Need Husbands
Foxnews ^ | Suzanne Venker

Posted on 12/05/2013 3:18:28 PM PST by Morgana

Over the past several decades, America has witnessed a profound change in the way women view men and marriage. It began with the baby boomer adage “never depend on a man.”

This message resulted in a generation of women who turned their attention away from the home and onto the workforce. They did what their mothers told them to do: they became financially independent so they’d never have to rely on a husband.

In time, “never depend on a man” turned into the full-blown belief that men are superfluous. In 2010 Jennifer Aniston claimed women needn’t “fiddle with a man” to have a child.

This will only end badly for women. The fig leaf delusion they cling to now is only the product of stable social relationships and the productivity of men. If both sexes reject each other in favor of narcissistic pursuits women will ultimately lose because the fundamental purpose of marriage is to protect as well as love. Decline into social chaos and women will become meat. These fools are merely tuning their fiddles for a performance we’ve seen before.

Women need to read and remember the rules of being a good wife:

They forgot the most important part:

"When the husband is watching the football game and snaps his finger, it is the duty of the wife to immediately stop what she is doing and dutifully retrieve for him an ice cold beer from the fridge.."

Women don’t need husbands.

They only need checkbooks.

Men just coincidentally come with them.

what if the wife is watching the football game and the husband is not, and he wants an ice-cold beer? does she put aside the game to get him a beer? :)
