too much like homework
No, actually it is a fun read. I am amazed at all the Red Pill guys on youtube, who act like Feminism has ruined women, blah blah blah. Sorry, but women, in America particularly, were ruined long before Feminism. Feminism just put a Pretty Face on all the underlying irrationality in women. Heck, read the Code of Hammurabi- beyatches could be returned to their families by the husband. Read the Bible, and it is chugging full of how rare a good woman is. Read, the Fifteen Joys of Marriage from 1462:

Topics include milking the husband of money for clothing and jewelry, cuckolding, inheritance and general self-indulgence and domineering. Topics are repetitive in different chapters – perhaps instead, the book should have been “The Nine Joys of Marriage.” While consistently painting the sad husband as a permanent victim, it rather portrays husbands as dunces who are tricked time and again by the conniving wife.
While “Fifteen” may be a critique of the overindulgence in worship of the Virgin Mary, it really paints a devastating view of all women who are never to be trusted with a man’s money, freedom, and life in general. In modern terms, all women are viewed as dominatrices bent on governing every aspect of a man’s life. In response to this assault on feminine morality, women today, as in 1462, surely will sing “Cry Me a River.”
Lest the ladies bid the author ill, he notes that, in truth, women are more beset by men than men by women, and if the ladies simply asked, he would write a companion volume to document the fifteen or so reasons that women should carefully consider the prospect of marriage and the dangers awaiting them within. If the request was ever made and the book written, the manuscript has been lost. Or perhaps burned by men in their desire to maintain their dubious status as the rightfully wronged party.”
