Not a Stepford

My views on what a wife should do for a husband or what a girlfriend should do for her boyfriend is much different from many others out there. I am pretty old fashioned. I think it is the woman’s job to take care of the man. The man should not HAVE to do dishes, laundry, cooking, cleaning, or other domestic chores (except lawn care. I just don’t do lawn care.) I think there is a reason that many “older” marriages worked. I fully believe it is the amount of devotion that these woman show to their husbands. I do not think that every man and woman should have this view, but this is merely my outlook.

This being said, I should make clear that I am not a “Stepford.” I am not a robot. I am not perfect. My hair is a mess sometimes. My makeup isn’t always perfectly in place. There is not always something baking in the oven. I don’t just sit there and look pretty. I have opinions. I have feelings. I have a voice. I will not always agree with what a man, my friends, a man’s friends, or everyone else thinks or feels about a situation. I am not programmed to say how high when someone says jump.

I am willing to listen to everyone’s opinion, but that doesn’t mean I have to agree with them; so why does it mean that if I don’t, I am such a horrible person? Why can’t I have my opinion, thoughts and feelings just as I understand everyone else has?

I think that there are so many men that will never be satisfied with the woman who is perfectly imperfect. Many who will not embrace the uniqueness that a woman with feelings has to offer. Those men will lead a very lonely life, unless their idea of not being alone is a different woman in his bed every night; and let me be the first to say, those women will catch on to that game as well, and then they won’t even have that. Perfection doesn’t exist. So, men, if you are looking for a woman that sits and says nothing because she is scared she may offend you, doesn’t offer an opinion, doesn’t bring individualism to the table, then the local porn shop sells “blow-up Betty” and that is your perfect match.
