Affirmative Action for Husbands
| Husbands: Print this list out and read it to your
wife. Make sure you are prepared to confess and be humble and act like
you're the sweat of a pig at her feet! And do it out of love for
her. You will be glad you did! More than you can imagine in
advance! |
I acknowledge that I have been conveniently using,
enjoying, and benefiting from these
MALE
PREROGATIVES |
In return, I shall strive to partially compensate
women through
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
such as these
|
|
---------- |
---------- |
| Not wearing a shirt,| or wearing just a tank top,|
in mixed company, when it's hot and sweaty. Meanwhile the women wore
shirts, etc. |
I will show more appreciation for women's efforts
in appearing composed,| pleasing,| and appropriate. |
|
---------- |
---------- |
| Not wearing underwear under the baggy shorts, in
mixed company, when it's hot,| or leaving around my dirty socks and
sneakers | or sit with women while my hands and nails are filthy |and
generally act like a savage and not care about women's tender
sensibilities |
I will stop acting like a wimp | and I will make
the effort it takes to appear more appealing in the presence of my wife |
and I will keep reminding myself that by myself I tend to sink into
savagery | and uncivilized beastiality | and only my wife, and other
women, keep me from sliding quickly into that hellish fate for men| and
therefore I must constantly show my gratitude to her, and all women, for
agreeing to perform this saving function for us men |
|
---------- |
---------- |
| Being served by my wife, and other women, | taking
it for granted,| insisting on it,| pouting when it's not done in exactly
the way I expect it -- in summary, treating women like I think they are my
servants |
I will start serving my wife principally, and
other women by extension, in such a way as | to give her the feeling that
I want to please her, | that I care about her comfort, | that I respect
her ahead of myself |
|
---------- |
---------- |
| Being competitive with my wife,| insisting on a
fair-and-square 50/50 deal where I won't do what I don't think I should,|
and the tasks I agree to do, I execute them reluctantly,| complainingly,|
inefficiently,| and use them as an opportunity to be in a bad mood and
make her feel bad |
I will stop using equity justice with my wife, and
other women by extension,| and I will no longer keep track on a 50/50
basis,| but instead, I will strive to be a helper,| anticipating what she
wants and doing it for her sake,| to make it easier on her,| to love her
in that way |
|
---------- |
---------- |
Intimidating my wife, and other women, through my
male prerogatives,| so that I can have things my way by using male
chauvinistic tactics like this:|
Raising my voice | Frowning |
Assuming a threatening stance | Making a fist | Insisting over and over |
Mental torture --| nagging her to distraction,| confusing her,|
misrepresenting things,| faking stuff,| threatening her,| and so on
|
I will stop being a mental torturer to women who
love me, and by extension to all women, by humbling my male megalomaniacal
self, and by making sure that when I mistreat my wife again, and other
women, I will instantly stop, confess my error to her, then tenderly ask
her forgiveness and think of some fun activity to do to take her mind of
my slimeball treatment of her |
