People suck. I've tried figuring out what is making some vids more popular than others. You would think people would have other reasons to watch: music, humor, film noire essence.... I'm kind of annoyed.

What's the linkage?
You know, if the opinion of a 12-year old matters to ya.

Oh V you are such a guy!

So Miss K leaves the dishes in the sink, and leaves the laundry to the end of the week, and doesn't bother taking the rubbish out.

And do you know what Miss Kitty has at the end of the week?

A sink full of dirty dishes, a laundry overload and rubbish hanging around the house, so it's going to take her 5 times as long to clean the house.

Sure Miss K should go out and get a job to pay for the loans, but on the same plate, Mr Kitty needs to pick up his fuckin' act and help out around the house!

I've worked full time, studied full time and still been expected to pick up/clean the house, why? Because men are lazy fuckers who will sit back and let the little woman do the work, because they say the same role modelling with their parents, and after all they have been to work all day, and heaven forbid if a woman doesn't work as hard as a man outside of the home.

And please don't give me that bullshit line of "well I have a different time scale for doing things than you do" because it's just a coverup for laziness. You see something that needs doing, you do it. If it was your favourite thing in the entire universe, you'd just do it.

On this topic, I was at a supermarket checkout talking to the lady behind the counter and she was saying that she had four kids and worked and her husband still expected her to do the domestic chores, so she did the only thing that made sense - she got rid of him.

And I'd hate to say this that there are going to be a lot more women out there, who are just going to say "You know what? I've had enough of this bullshit" and will just leave relationships (if they have them in the first place) because of the difference in housekeeping standards between men and woman.

I agree with her. Why pick up after someone who is old enough to pick up after themselves because of some stupid thing like love. You know us woman generally take care of the house, because it's a way of showing how much we love our man, but when our men don't return the gesture (even by cleaning off their food scraps before they put their plate on the sink- instead of in the dishwasher) it really pisses us off.

And I'd like to say that I think Ben is the only guy on this forum who has mentioned that he keeps house, so he's excluded from my generalisations.

Fuck I'm as mad as a cut snake today... and just as venomous. (sp?)

To which one the one that no one is even watching.

Or the only anyone seems to watch even though it was posted years ago.

Please don't presume to speak for all women. I take full responsibility for the give-and-take balance within my marriage. Perhaps because of this, it's pretty damn even. I take serious offense to being lumped into a group of women who keep house after a man while bitching about it as though they weren't making a choice to do so. If it makes you happy, by all means, go for it. If it doesn't, it's your responsibility to make a change. If it doesn't, and you won't - don't assume all women choose the same way. I'm with V on this one.

carakitty · 10-25-2011, 09:19 PM

Interesting stuff brought up here for me to think about and respond to, but tomorrow. I need to get to bed because of the early day tomorrow. After Mr. Kitty + the Kitten are dropped at the airport I will have four whole days to think and do forums and get caught up on house work and hopefully get hired at a job! I'm really looking forward to it being just me + the critters.

*Twitch · 10-25-2011, 09:53 PM

You all seem to be pretty reasonable people, but in case any of you have ever had this thought enter your head...It is NEVER cool, funny, or acceptable to fuck with people's drugs without thier knowledge. When someone buys a joint, they expect it to be fucking cannabis, MAYBE with a little tobacco. So to whoever that motherfucker is who sold me that joint laced with blow: FUCK YOU. I had to go to work the next day and that fucking thing kept me up til 7am.

Remember kids, only accept drugs from people you know and trust. FUCK.

Um. What the fuck?

I said "make it less of a priority." Where the fuck do you get all that from? My meaning was "There's no reason the two of you can't share the house." I assume that she does it exclusively because she doesn't work, not because she's a fucking woman.

Solumina · 10-26-2011, 03:40 PM

Statistically speaking even in households where women are the primary breadwinners they still do more than half of the housework. It isn't true in all households and the data gets a little fuzzy when you start talking about stay at home dads. You may not have meant anything by it her post didn't just come from nowhere.

Most people wouldn't have complained.

I wouldn't have mixed the two, personally, because I dislike the effects of pot.

carakitty · 10-26-2011, 06:17 PM

I don't usually like pot either. Strangely, it usually gives me nausea. The only weed I can smoke must be pure and fresh. One of my friends would always make me take the first hit so he'd know if it was good stuff or not. At least that is what he told me.

Catch · 10-26-2011, 06:32 PM

I don't smoke pot, yet still entertaining the idea of medicinal marijuana. Probably won't though. There is some problem with pot causing muscular problems in infants if the mother smoke while a zygote. I don't know if it is a big deal, but it sounds as though if that happens it could have a greater impact on a person that just hasn't been proven yet.

Normally I wouldn't have. If he'd told me I would have saved it for a night where I HADN'T already done speed and gotten shitfaced drunk. It was WAAAAAY too much for my brain to deal with.

wolf moon · 10-27-2011, 03:25 AM

I ate SAD food today. We were cleaning out my mother's garage all day, because the people who ran her estate sale left a huge mess and she is on the other side of the country and there is a showing scheduled tomorrow. The kitchen was empty, so we had to buy food. I hate buying food. It's full of oils made from things that aren't even oily and weird unpronounceable scaries and everyone thinks gluten is cute so even though I was super careful and only ate (I thought) meat and lettuce and onions, there was secret wheat somewhere in my food today.

I can tell because my stomach is currently trying to work out whether or not it is physically possible for it to punch me in the face.

Also, I am sitting on the couch so my (totally gluten-tolerant) husband doesn't have to deal with my 5am pouting. And my cat is sleeping on the other end, and she keeps making these really cute sleeping-cat noises and rolling around all adorably, but my phone is in the bedroom so I can't take adorable-crazy-cat-lady type photographs. Which pisses me off almost as much as the wheat.

ugh.

In my opinion, you can't change someone else. A person can only change themselves. The only thing you can change is to walk out of a relationship, but walking out of one because they aren't doing the housework seems a little superficial, to me.

Here in Australia there is a huge percentage (can't remember the stats but it is like 70-80%) of men who would rather look after the kids than do extra housework and that the majority of housework is still done by the majority of women in Australia. So while these stats aren't universal for all women in all relationships around the world, it is this way for the majority of women in relationships in Australia.

Versus Wow I never realised American guys were so domesticated.

You should come over to Australia and teach our men how to clean houses and share 50/50 in the housework, without the guys having to be asked/nagged. So driven to be house proud - it's admirable... or are you just trying to keep up with the Canadians?

Grausamkeit · 10-28-2011, 08:23 AM

He's just trying to trap some Canadian beaver.

Versus · 10-28-2011, 11:00 AM

Or I could honestly feel like it's bullshit. My wife was a fucking slob and didn't work for the entire duration of our marriage, so unless I found the willpower to pick up the mess she made sitting on the couch and playing video games all day when I got home from work, it didn't get done.

Like that one time that I was at work for a year and I came home to an episode of hoarders.

So please, don't marginalize me by even joking that I'm saying that for a piece of ass.

Solumina · 10-28-2011, 02:21 PM

V, I'm really sorry that you lived with a slob. It can be quite taxing to be the sole person responsible for cleaning up, no matter what gender you are.

Dear lord Jake takes fucking forever to get ready. On average it takes him about an hour, and that is just getting ready to go to work or whatever, he takes even longer if we are actually going out to do something but since he hogs the bathroom while he is getting ready I end up getting done second because I want to brush my fucking teeth or some such quick and fairly necessary thing so he blames me for us being late, even though I spent most of my time sitting on my ass waiting for him to finish up. Today he has taken a solid 2 hours, thankfully there isn't anything that I need to be doing but he was supposed to have left at 5:00 to go meet his father for dinner, at least he can't blame me for being late.

ape descendant · 10-28-2011, 08:31 PM

Been looking forward to this art show all motherfucking year... the day comes and its bitterly disappointing. I am easy as fuck to please, but this was motherfucking bullshit... gyeeaaagh!!

Sorry, dude. I won't joke about that. I just did it because you were doing that meme in the other thread about picking up feminists.

It really sucks to be married to(or living with) someone like that.

You're fine. I know I was overly sensitive. I've been a little stressed, ya dig?

Mr.Doobie · 10-30-2011, 07:01 AM

The friend I've mentioned before in this thread (the Wendy's guy) is upset because a girl he's had his eye on has rejected him. This lead him to "drink the pain away" two nights ago and fill our evening to the brim with melodramatic bullshit, always going on about how "I'll never have a woman in my bed. Oh well, I don't care." That's when a friend of his (there are two guys we don't really know that he's been letting tag along) began to tell him that it's ok because "all women are just whores and bitches anyway." This reaffirmed his own opinion that the girl rejected him just because she's a "slut". How dare she call him "darling" when she had no intention of sucking his dick? My other friends and I began to tell him he was wrong, that the girl he's talking about is actually a nice person, doesn't deserve the trash talk she was getting, and that it's perfectly fine that she just wasn't interested in him. But guess who he listened to? The four guys telling him he was wrong? Or the one guy reaffirming his infantile opinion? Fuck, at this point, I'm happy she had the sense to tell him "no", can you imagine what being in a relationship with someone like that would've been like?

Then yesterday night, him and a bunch of my other friends tried to get acid, but the shit they got didn't work. So one of the tag-alongs that this guy has been bringing around offered to smoke them out. Everyone but me. Even though at this point I was hanging out with them. I asked if I could smoke too, and I offered to throw in some of my own money for weed, but Wendy's guy threw a temper tantrum saying I'm not the one who got the bad acid and that if I joined in it would be too many people and he wouldn't get high enough to forget his pain. My other friends just shrugged their shoulders and said "sorry, you can't come. I want you to come, but Wendy's Guy is upset, and we're smoking in his room, so what he says goes."

Well fuck him, and fuck my friends. I'm sick of Wendy's guy and his immature bullshit, and I'm disgusted that my friends just sat there and let him treat me like shit. It's not my fault you took shitty acid, dude. And this isn't the first time he's treated me shitty because he was forced to be sober for a whole hour or two more than what he expected. Fuck him.

MissCheyenne · 10-30-2011, 01:44 PM

A horrible, horrible middle aged man pushed me up the escalator yesterday. I fell with all my weight on my bad arm and now it's all swollen and really sore. He pushed me because he said I barged past him. I was nowhere near him and what kind of dickwad goes around pushing down women who are half his size?
