WOMEN! (Okay, and Men Too) How Would You Respond to These Comments?

On another internet discussion board (non-political), a single mother of four responded to a man who ranted that single mothers destroyed their children by warping their perspective of male-female relationships. She said that many single mothers raise their children very well and she teaches her children to follow their hearts in life. She said, "As a mother, I feel it's my job to love them and take care of them and teach them what I can and then let them go when they grow up."

This is the response that she received:

As a mother it�s your job to find a good man and lead by example. You are now telling your daughters that they don�t need a man. You are telling your sons that women do not need you. Men need to be needed. We guys need to be depended on to rise to and do our job. If I had a gal that was making a lot like Oprah (for instance), I�d live with a remote in my hands and sit on an E-Z boy all day long. Why should I do shit?

A momma can give me birth, potty train me and leave me the fuck alone. I want daddy after that. If daddy ain�t there, help me find a good father figure.

Read real slow while I cut you up.

A woman don�t need any money. You didn�t know that, did you? If you have a man, you don�t need a dime. All you need is enough money to do what he tells you to do and perhaps some gas and cigarette money. That�s it. Certainly not no two or three hundred in your purse. For what?

You are getting away from the traditional roles. The guy controls all the finances. The gal does the home. People only do so much as they have to do and no more. If you do his job of changing a tire, why should he? If he was on his job in the first place, you would have had some good tires already on the car. If he had to stop making money on his job to come rescue you on the highway, he�ll put some good tires on that car.

Your momma didn�t teach you shit, did she? It�s not your job to worry about the rent being paid or if there�s food in the icebox or if the phone might get cut off. That�s his job. All those brain cells you burn up thinking about that takes away from your ability to think how you can better your relationship (have his clothes ready for him so he can go out and do battle on his war against poverty, getting his food ready, get the kids out the way so he can rest, and what perfume that you�re going to have on when you two snuggle up in the bed that night). That�s your job. If he can�t handle his job, then you get a divorce and go find somebody else. Choose better next time. You don�t bitch in the guys ear. If it ain�t worth getting a divorce over then you shut the fuck up.

NOW YOU THINK ABOUT ALL THAT MISS LADY.

Did I do her in or what?

This response was met with glowing accolades from the men on the site, with the exception of me (I called him the biggest motherfucking retard on the planet). Other guys piled on to tell him how right he was. That prompted him to come back with this charming insight:

I figured that I wasn't alone in my thinking. Male chauvenism has been pushed by gals as something that's politically incorrect. I say fuck 'em.

Only thing that one woman can do for another is to show her how to change a tampoon and to suck a dick. She needs a man for the rest.

My responses to him so far have been slammed for "lacking logic" because I called him names. I honestly would back it up further but honestly would it do any good with a guy like this? Lost cause?
