Her Career Is Going To Be The End Of Us!!! OMG We Should Like, Break Up!!!
Posted on August 23, 2006 by Him and tagged wtf
After I read this Forbes article, I was seriously thinking that maybe I should call off the marriage. Maybe this guy is right: career women are BAD. Since I've read this article, I had trouble sleeping last night, dreaming that my children would constantly ask me, "Daddy, where's Mommy?" or "Whey doesn't Mommy live here anymore?" or "Why was Mommy making out with that homeless looking hipster listening to they-call-it-ironic-everyone-else-calls-it-crap music?" I fear for my future.
Apparently, the slideshow that accompanied this article originally was taken down, probably because it was sooo right! (edit: the original slideshow text can be found here - still looking for the pictures) I mean, look at all of these SMART people talking about it! I think that the slideshow was duly replicated on this blog, or maybe this one! Right on!
Men, we must band together to fight this threat! The threat of women with university degrees, who work more than 35 hours a week, and who make more than $30,000! Who's with me?
We're going to have a terrible marriage. Wish us luck.
(...and because the internet is such a fun place, I'm actually going to put a disclaimer here saying that this post is dripping with wet hot sarcasm...)

Thanks for the laugh! Being one of those overeducated, overpaid career women myself, I was highly amused.
Great post, Him! You must make Her quite proud! Luckily, I found another pro-women's empowerment men out there and married him too! I'm glad to know there are multitudes of you!

Damn. I guess my fiance really didn't mean to propose last Tuesday. The same day I got my huge promotion running the department in my company. He really hates the fact that I make more than him now. He really hates the fact that he can go back to school to pursue his dream because WE now make enough. Silly me. I need to hurry up, quit my job and get pregnant so he won't feel burdened by a successful woman.

Clearly sexism is alive and well and living ALL AROUND US. Run!!!
My favorite thing about this post is that Him is the one who was outraged enough to write a satirical response, not Her.
Let's hear it for anti-sexist men. I live with one and wouldn't trade him for all the macho breadwinner types in the world.
