[Quintus Curtius]

This NPR story caught my attention today. It purports to describe how many men are "choosing" to put their careers "on hold" for the sake of following their wives around the country as the women pursue their own careers.

http://www.npr.org/2014/08/18/339830815/...rs-careers

In other words, more men are assuming a submissive role. Nothing new here, right?

What's so grating about the story is just how insidious it is in trying to portray this as some sort of "progress."

Here are some quotes, with my translation beneath:

"And men who follow their partners often must grapple with the implications for their careers, while also facing their own set of difficult questions about what it means to give up the traditional role of breadwinner."

Translation: You'd better kowtow to your wife's demand, or else. Suffer in silence.

"But this is the way it had to be if he wanted a life with Saraf. They have two dogs, a cat and now a baby on the way.

Nussel says it stings the ego when he doesn't have the money he needs for nice Christmas gifts or a good dinner out. But, he adds, he's happy women are becoming more powerful in the workforce.

"I think eventually men are going to have to realize they'll need to sacrifice something if they want to make a relationship work," he says. "I guess in a way it does take a strong-willed person to put yourself on the back burner for someone else.""


Translation: This is the way it's going to be, dude. Get used to it. It's my (female) way or the highway. And if you're broke and feel like a loser with no job? Get used to it. Wave of the future, dickhead. Oh, and other men should feel the same misery, too! Men are going to have to "man up" and suck it up. These "strong-willed" women are here to stay! Say hello to your new master.

And of course, no NPR story would be complete without showcasing how wise and wonderful gays are, so the last part of the article showcases a gay couple. Quote:

"Sparkman says he's well aware that career success is still a cultural measure of masculinity in this country. Both men say the decisions they've made aren't really about gender. They're about money and personality."


Translation: Gender doesn't matter! We're all equal! Just shuffle a few wads of cash here and there, and we'll all be happy and fine. As long as I "feel" like a good person, I am!

We're so done. So done.

The media is pure evil these days...just pure evil.

I am skeptical of everything the media says and do realize they are just pushing an agenda among other things.. but sometimes what people write is so frustrating.

[Glaucon]

I want to be more submissive, said no men ever.

Hmm, this is the second time I've noticed NPR mentioned championing questionable views...

At least there is an economic excuse for this gender reversal. Not so much in this famous case:

[2Wycked]

These are boys, not men.

Seeking to annul the pain of never truly having a mother's love, they seek it out with their "lovers." They get trapped in the mindset of a boy chasing his mother's ever elusive love.

Feminists support this because they are haters of a supreme order: they only know how to take from others and rip them down. They don't understand personal growth from within. They don't understand providing for yourself. They only understand power insofar as it relates to them devaluing everybody around them so they can feel superior and taking what others have.

So, in order to "advance" as women, feminists support mothering that traps boys in the mindset of a child - so they can't become a man who will, most likely, power past women in the workforce. Feminists often crow about how it is no threat to men at all: that is because they have to at least be subconsciously aware that any man with a shred of awareness knows the hater mentality that fires feminism.

Feminism truly is one of the most wicked ideologies ever.

Sacrificing your masculinity will not make any relationship work - but that's choir preaching on this forum.

We have to remember that our Biology, in the end, will trump all societal effort to thwart it's course.

That guy in the pic definitely should be a contestant for Heartiste's Beta of the Month.

Gays usually follow the same male/female dichotomy - it is just highly different because it is not obvious who is who and they are both men and thus are distinctly different mentally. One guy is usually the more masculine/dominant one and he is also often the one who makes more money - in a way their relationship-patterns follow the traditional path.

Now with women and their psychological makeup - that is a different story. The lying manipulative bastards of NPR should follow the article by this one:

Why Great Husbands Are Being Abandoned

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/randi-gunt...66990.html

Quote:

Why would women who have accomplished the female dream suddenly not be satisfied with it? Why are they leaving these ideal guys, and for what reasons?

I am currently dealing with several of these great husbands. They are, across the board, respectful, quality, caring, devoted, cherishing, authentic, and supportive guys whose wives have left them for a different kind of man. These once-beloved men make a living, love their kids, help with chores, support aging parents, and support their mate's desires and interests. They believe they've done everything right. They are devastated, confused, disoriented, and heartsick. In a tragic way, they startlingly resemble the disheartened women of the past who were left behind by men who "just wanted something new."

You may think that these women are ruthless and inconsiderate. Those I know are far from that. More often, they still love their husbands as much as they ever did, but in a different way. They tell me how wonderful their men are and how much they respect them. They just don't want to be married to them anymore.

They love them, but more as a feminine friend they have no sexual attraction for. Emasculated men are the modern eunuchs.

It reminds me of that one psychological experiment they did with couples. One group of couples were told to heed all the wishes of the wife. The other group was told to listen 100% to all the desires and whims of the husbands. And all participants had to chart their happiness along the way.

The female empowerment group started out fine - women got happier the first 10 days, but then suddenly their happiness started to tank and by the end of the month they were unhappier than before. Of course the husbands were getting more and more dissatisfied after every day they had to bow to their wives in submission.

The male empowerment group resulted in the men being the most happy. Actually the men reached the apex of emotional bliss at the end of the one month-term. But here the funny thing: The women of that group initially were less happy, but after a week or so their happiness began to rise and most women were in fact happier than at the point they had started out. So in effect both partners were happier, if the woman HAD to do everything the man desired of them! Isn't that strange, how nature had created the sexes?

Now of course the plutocracy knows perfectly well that we are made that way. They know that promoting crap like this will result in further spread of unhappiness and increased destruction of the family structure. Women are sold a lie and they suck it up, because it feels good - at least for a while.

Feminism is just the muscle of the communist movement, which is the most wicked ideology ever. Communism turns completely civilized and safe societies into giant prisons at the mercy of a govt. that answers to no one.

Communism can never take root without feminism. If only men have say on how a society is run, communism has no chance because men understand and appreciate freedom and the risks that come with it. Most women do not. Once women have the right to vote, they will gladly give away our freedoms and rights for security offered from feminists.

Just sickening, the western world will collapse due to giving women the right to vote. It took 100 years, but it is now here.

Women inherently like to acquire resources. They do most of the spending. When they are unhappy, they will try to fill that void with purchases: food, clothing, other goods.

Increasing female unhappiness --> increased revenue and profits.
Increasing female happiness --> decreased revenue and profits.

Arguably, generally increasing unhappiness increases revenue because happy people do not need more things to make them feel good.

These are the fundamental relationships that guide society today.

[Cobra]

And NPR has a significantly misplaced audacity to imply that they're different from other media outlets. When in the end it's simply just nerdier and caters to a submissive crowd that would rather listen to that shit than build social connections.

[Menace]

I used to not understand why conservatives railed against NPR...it took me a while and getting older to finally get it.

[The Beast1]

Very disappointed with NPR. I used to be an avid listener on my commute home. Now I get my news online.

[Mike5055]

Short of any economic justification, and even then it's case by case, men (or so they claim) like this have no self-respect.

General Patton, as Un-PC as they came, once said something to the effects of...

War is a necessary evil. It is how we settle disputes, but it is also how we thin the herd of the cowardly and weakest males.

Not a direct quote, but it was to that effect. As brutal as that is, it is starting to appear true when you see shit like this and realize these two morons have two vote to go against your one vote.

I think it's all about the mentality which is then reflected in body language. There are people with serious handicaps and deformities that still easily look imposing or confident simply because they've never adopted poisonous outlooks.

I definitely think it is both genetic and environmental. It's a documented fact that testosterone levels are being lowered all over the globe due to all the chemicals in everything and the general bad environmental problems. Is it deliberate? I'll let you guys decide.

The more I look into it, the more can see myself following Mike CF's advice on the whole testosterone thing. We may have no choice, with how things are going.

The society here wants to see wusses like this guy in the NPR article.

What enrages me is how they try to sell this shit to the public as if it were "progress" or "virtue."

Saraf admires the sacrifices her husband has made for her. "You know, he is a very compassionate and giving person and he is very selfless,"

If you'd been there when she said this, you might have wondered what the faint *schwupp!* sound was. That was her pussy closing up like the polyps of a coral reef. She's talking about her husband but her words are ones she might use to describe her sister or her mother.

Ricky Nussle has a map on his living room wall. He can use it to track the moves he has made for his wife, Amanda Saraf, who is training to be a doctor.

Some advice for Ricky: you might want to save some pins for your map so you can plot your wife's next moves after medical school:

* during the long stressful hours of her residency she hooks up with a higher status man than you - probably one of the more senior doctors who gives her tingles because he's a masculine man.

* after a brief period of surreptitious shagging, she decides she loves you, but is not in love with you

* She thanks you for everything, Ricky, but says she deserves to be happy with her new man. You want her to be happy, right?

* Ricky gets permission to see the kid every weekend, but Saraf and her new beau will be moving again for the sake of their high paying medical careers. Hope you can afford to travel, Ricky!

Current divorce laws would keep women in line. Imagine a woman having to pay alimony to her ex-husband. The hamster wouldn't like this one bit.

The only real perk of dating women above your pay grade.
