It’s been a while since I picked on Hugo
This can’t be passed up, though.
*sigh*
Hugo, Hugo, Hugo. Where to start?
At the end. Here is what kills me. I could let the rest slide as a hand wringing whine-fest, but this takes the cake:
And if that means that some of the boys need to go and spend a few minutes taking over Martha’s duties so she can take a break, then they damned well can step up and do it.
Believe me, this isn’t hyperbole from Hugo.
I hardly know where to begin. On second thought, yes, I do. A long time ago in a galaxy far far away – well, a few moons back, in the blogosphere of the Femiplex, Barry/Ampersand put out his “Male Privilege Checklist” Which was within hours fisked as example after example of self-created problems and pressures put on women by other women.
Most notable – (drumroll) – FEMINISTS!Â
That is right. Feminists. Who is it that is saying if women get their “Mrs” degree, they are wasting their lives? Who is it that says if women stay home with their kids they are betraying women?
Ladies – if you forget to paint one of your nails, and one is a different shade, tell me – who is going to be catty and whisper about you behind your back? Your relatives come over and the house isn’t “perfect.” Is it your uncles that are going to slam you later on? Isn’t it your husband or boyfriend who is telling you, “Good enough, take a rest?” Isn’t it your husband or boyfriend who is saying, “For Pity’s sake, honey, you look gorgeous!?”
Who is your biggest critic? Men?
Or other Women? Who created the pressure to be “Superwoman?” Men?
Or FEMINISTS?
So – in the name of all of the Gods at once – WHY THE HELL IS IT THE JOB OF “THE BOYS” TO “DAMNED WELL” STEP UP? (THat is a rhetorical question, lads, we all know the answer.)
Here’s an idea – lay off your sisters, ladies. If they don’t want to be uberwench, give ‘em a fuckin’ break.
