Oh internets, you sure know how to bring the crazy. And it's not even hard to find. Most of the time, it finds you. You'll just be minding your own business, doing Google News searches for articles with the word "feminist" in them, and before you know it you're knee-deep in the craziest anti-feminist horse shit the internet has to offer.
Take, for example, this incredibly tl;dr article intended to help woman-hating jerk-offs find "a good wife." And when I say tl;dr, I mean it: the checklist alone is more than 2,000 words long, and considering the content, I think a better title would have been...
How To Never Get Married Again
Step 1: Assume that all women are liars: If she is divorced, does she always talks badly about her ex? If she does, get to know him. If he’s not a jerk, run!
Step 2: If you are dating a woman who has kids, attempt to assert "equal parental authority" over them even though you are not their parent, ensuring that they will hate you right off the bat:If she has children, does she insist on handling all discipline, and undercut you when you need to act? Is she willing to let you play a serious role as a parent, or is she just looking for a babysitter with no authority? (Note: you do not have to pretend to be the “real” parent. Both parents in a marriage must have equal parental authority, and both parents must uphold the other parent’s authority, otherwise children will “triangle” the parents off each other and manipulate them to get what they want, causing serious friction between the parents.)
Step 3: Insist that her anger and hurt feelings are her problem, not yours: Does she take responsibility for her emotions, or hold everyone else responsible for them?
Step 4: Tell her that you believe women are inherently inferior to men, and insist that she respect you anyway: Does she respect you for not subscribing to feminism?
Step 5: Ignore her pleas for decent and kind treatment: Does she ever say “If you loved me, you would _____, to manipulate you into doing what she wants?
Step 6: If she happens to have a timid or shy pet, blame it on her: Is her dog or cat friendly and well-balanced? If the animal spends a lot of time hiding and avoids her — pay attention to what the animal knows.
Step 7: If she's divorced, blame it on her and require her to explain how she "killed her last marriage:" If she was previously married, is she openly able to admit her mistakes that killed the last marriage? Is she repeating them on you?
Step 8: Insult her trashy female taste in TV, books, etc.: When she has free time, does she prefer watching Oprah, Jerry Springer, feminist entertainment, or other trash TV? Are there trashy love novels laying around her house?
Step 9: If she's neat, criticize her for it. If she's not neat, criticize her for that, too: Is her house a messy disaster area, or does she keep it insanely clean?
Step 10: Insist that she has no right to her own private thoughts: Does she spend a lot of time writing in a diary that nobody is allowed to see?
Step 11: Demand unconditional love: Is her heart constant, or does she practice “conditional love”.
Does she expect a conditional relationship: “If I do this, then you must do that”, or “if you don’t do this, then I will ____ ?
Step 12: Demand complete devotion, but don't feel obligated to give the same: Does she freely give to the relationship, while graciously appreciating your willing contributions?
Step 13: Refuse to apologize: Does she demand apologies when you have done nothing wrong?
Step 14: If she feels ignored, tell her she just needs to accept you the way you are: Does she demand that you love her “her way”, or does she let you love her as you are naturally capable and demonstrably appreciate it?
Step 15: If she wants children some day, RUN! Does she appear pre-focused with having children – and you simply being a means to accomplish that end?
Step 16: Assume that sex is a given that women have no reason to ever refuse: Does she withhold sex to get what she wants?
Step 17: Never take advice from a woman: Does she accept you for who you are today, or is she always saying things like “you should ______”.
Step 18: If she is an atheist, require her to believe in religion: If she is atheist, does she believe in a power higher than herself, and trust in that higher power to help her through difficult times?
Step 19: And above all, if she seems to be well-informed about the law, domestic violence or her own rights, RUN!!! Does she work for a women’s abuse center or similar volunteer service?
Is she an attorney or work for one as a paralegal?
