What would be something similar a woman could say in a men’s rights forum? I’m trying to think of an analogy. “Could you come empty the trash at our convention?” And from what I can see, people are laughing at Eddie, but not threatening him with attacking and maiming him.
I think it’s a funny post. I think Eddie posted it as a joke, too.
Yeah, just read some history books(or watch a history show)to find out why(it might has something to do with Adam and Eve(i don’t know and i don’t care)).
Only if you’re willing to marry them and support them Eddie. We womenfolk don’t just go around making sandwiches for any random guy on the internet you know.
Wow, can anyone take a joke? God. It’s not like we’re literally implying superiority or anything, we’re just getting some jokes. I completely respect and love women as my equals and great human beings, but I still found this joke pretty funny.
Get out of your feminist cave sometimes, and breath the fresh air of humor.
Not only that, if you actually go to the group page on facebook there are a few people who copied the jokes since seeing it on failblog. I mean the joke is ok but stupid.
I don’t know what’s worse, this joke or the fact several people have posted now on the groups page since being on failblog.
My thoughts exactly. This is almost as bad as someone posting an intentionally stupid question to Yahoo! and then posting it on failblog like it wasn’t staged and submitted by the same person. At least wait more than 20 seconds before taking a shot of your own post. Unless we are to believe that the submitter is following the Women’s Rights group closely.
Ha ha ha ha. Falsified Failblog Posts can still be funny too though. But give this failblogger the benefit of the doubt, she’s probably the person who runs the Women’s Rights Page and decided to get a quick clip before she hit delete.
This is probably funnier if you don’t live in a culture where you’re treated more as property than as a human being. Ahh, what joy it must be to be a young, male, white, probably able-bodied, straight, educated, well-off person living in Western society and affluent enough to afford an internet connection, not really concerned about rape or being diminished in some way by people who have power over you for having a menstrual cycle or being buried up to your neck and beaten to death with stones for having sex, and asinine enough to screencap your own bad trolling. Congratulations on celebrating your privilege, you douche. I hope you choke on your next sandwich.
I know what you’re thinking now. Overreaction much? Yeah. Get over it. This is the millionth time I’ve seen this kind of joke on the internet, and this time it’s the straw that broke the camel’s back and made her into a raging feminist b*tch.
As a woman, I’m all for female equality. Female superiority, not so much.
We’re equal in the respect that we’re all human. But equality doesn’t equal sameness. There are such things as gender roles, you know.
Men and societies who abuse and mistreat women are terrible. Societies that do that are run by cowardly men who feel the need to punish women because they don’t know what else to do with them.
But beware radical feminism as a response. It was radical feminism that pushed men in Western society to become lazy and chauvinistic. If a woman can do everything a man can do, then she doesn’t need the man in her life. And a man’s greatest desire is to feel needed. With no purpose, men become lazy. With a wife depending on him, good men take heart, work hard, and become heroes. (I ought to know. I married one.)
Ironically, our roles our reversed in our marriage. He cooks. (I ruined hamburger helper once.) I fix things. But acting dominate toward a man isn’t going to make him respect you. It will only make him fear you. And that’s nowhere near the same thing.
Being a woman of character is what makes a difference. Deferring to my husband as my authority (archaic as it may seem) actually does work. The trick is picking a man who will be a good authority, not a domineering one. Treat a good man with respect, and he’ll strive to be a man worth respecting.
It’s often hard for people [especially in today's society] to accept what you said, Bibliophile. I agree with what you said completely, as I also realize that men and women are created equal, but different. This is a problem even for Jews and Christians, who have this in the Bible, men are meant to hold dominion over a house, a woman is his equal but helper, and they must both submit to each other. I suppose that is hard to understand, but know that I am agreeing with you Bibliophile.
It may come as no surprise to you for me to admit that I am a Christian, and proud to be so. And you’re right. It’s a hard pill to swallow. Before I got married, I despised verses in Scripture telling a woman to be “submissive” to her husband.
But as I read “Love and Respect” (a pre-wedding gift from a friend) I got to understand that, though those verses were abused by woman-hating chauvinists in the past, the spirit of what was written was nothing like that. It was about teamwork and partnership. Just as a company has a president and a vice president, so does a family. The wife is vice-president. She has a voice in all matters concerning the family. But in the end, it’s the president’s decision, whether the vice-president agrees or not. But a wise president seeks the advice of his underlings (cabinet, vice-presidents, committees, what have you) before making decisions that impact them.
I was serious when I recommended reading “Love and Respect”. Even from a secular point of view (I have given it to non-Christian friends as wedding presents) it’s a mind-blowing revelation. If more people followed the principles of the husband/wife relationship dynamic, they’d be surprised how much more smoothly things run.
YAY!!! So, so, so true! I tell my daughter-in-law to be sweet and kind all the time and that it will get her everywhere with my son! What ladies need to learn and understand is that equality and being a strong independent woman is wonderful (I am one by the way – educated, well employed, etc.) but tempered with a little deference to your man…. mmmm, mmmmm, mmmm….. he will adore you and go out of his way to please you.
I appreciate that you use the term “ladies.” It makes me smile because my husband has never called me or any other female “woman”. He always refers to me and other women he knows as “ladies”. Not “girl”. Not “woman”. I am his “lady”.
Ladies, place a little trust in a good-hearted man. Men crave respect more than they crave love.
Men, step up and take courage! Be a man of good character, love your lady, and your lady will respect you.
And read “Love and Respect” by Emerson Eggerichs. It will change your whole view of the male/female dynamic.
As a man I think you are completely wrong. Women who “defer” to men make me want to puke – noone should have to “defer” to a partner. Women and Men should be equal in a relationship – share the work as best they can and actually TALK about decisions and be a team.
Men who are little babies that need women to pretend that the man has authority are refered to as Children and not Men. Tell your husband to grow up and both of you stop the stupid playacting and behave like adults.
Whoever said we don’t talk through our situations? But someone has to make a final decision. I give my opinion. We discuss our options. We are a team. But the final call is still his. It’s my way of showing that I trust his judgment. He takes his role as leader of our family very seriously and does everything he can to be a responsible leader. Just as the president of any company would do.
It’s not a matter of simply stroking his ego or making him “feel” important. It’s a matter of him being a vital asset to our family.
He loves me and respects me. I love and respect him back. Neither one is more important than the other.
If only all women thought the way you do, I see women as equal. If women or men are to be a part of a strong household or a family they must work together, not attack each other for dominance and women that try to be equal are not doing it right, if you have to parade and fight for equality you’re not getting it. Women have been equal, if not more-so, for a long time and have also been making sexist jokes in a more serious manner than men yet we still get the backlash for our part. They have the same rights, opportunities and roles as men in Western society… yet it’s the women from Western society that are protesting and if a man was to protest for rights in this society they would be string up by the b***s. Be like this proud, modest and intellectual women and accept that we are all equal
if neither is more important, then why is one the “authority” and one is not?
why is one the president, and one the vice-president?
all of your analogies use terminology that is hierarchical. i get what you mean mostly, but don’t delude yourself–if you’re VP, first mate, second in command, then you are #2. and men who are in love with this line of thinking are just in love with the idea that women think they’re the most important, best authority in the home–which is patriarchy.
Patriarchy is a wonderful thing if the man you’re married to is honorable and responsible. To use an example I’m sure my husband would appreciate:
Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the starship Enterprise. He’s captain. He’s in charge. He runs things. Makes decisions. Commander Riker, his right-hand man. Number One. Always around to give the captain advice.
Now, what do you suppose would happen if Riker and Picard were always fighting about who was in charge? They’d never get anything done, and they’d probably endanger the rest of the crew as a result.
Picard is a good leader, a man of strong character, and always puts the needs and safety of his own crew before himself. Riker is honored to serve under such a great leader. He was even once offered the position of captain aboard his own starship. A position he eventually turned down. Yet, no man is an island. Countless times, he’s turned to Riker for advice. For help. He always weighs what is said in meetings very carefully. But at the end of the day, he’s still captain. He’s still in command. The decision is his to make.
If Picard was a tyrant, if he didn’t care about his crew, if he never asked for a second opinion, it wouldn’t be long before he had a mutiny on his hands. But good people respond well to good leadership. Riker and Picard often disagree on a course of action. But whatever decision Picard makes, Riker always complies, and not just because of duty either. He knows Picard’s track record, and he trusts his captain’s judgment.
My husband is Picard, I am Riker (in a manner of speaking). Our children (when we have some) are our crew. It’s his job to put the safety of us before his own concerns. It’s his job to seek our advice when he’s unsure of a decision or when a decision impacts our lives in a big way. It’s my job to support him. To defend his honor, and teach our children to submit to his authority, and to trust his judgment.
Patriachry, if run by a good man who sincerely loves and wants what’s best for his family, is a wonderful way to live. It is cowards and sloths who abuse their authority. Sadly, in today’s society, the world is too full of boys who can shave. The amount of men, real honest men, has declined in favor of 40 year old teenagers who never got out of mommy’s basement and who don’t know anything about women except what Esquire and Spike TV tell them about us.
You mentinoed that “men who are in love with this line of thinking are just in love with the idea that women think they’re the most important.”
That’s not true. Not if the man in question is a man of honor and character. If you are a woman, seek a good, strong (morally) man of character who will love you, lead you, and serve you as a leader. (For leadership is service, when done properly).
If you’re a man, strive to be a man of courage, honor, and truth. Lead your lady and your family through the easy times and the hard times. Never relinquish them to the harshness of the world, but fight for them, protect them, and inspire greatness in them.
Sorry if my answer was so long. It’s early. I haven’t had my caffiene yet. Maybe every guy or gal you’ve known has abused or been abused by this system. If that’s so, I’m sorry. A lot of cowardly men and insecure women have used this system to a disadvantage to themselves and others and tainted how it’s really supposed to work. But if you can find someone who believes in a system like the one I’ve described, and who can actually live it, you’ll be surprised at what you can do together.
I sincerely hope you find what you’re looking for.
for f**k’s sake can’t people be independent adults and treat other people with respect regardless of sex?
there really is no reason to ‘defer’ to anyone. sometimes you’ll be more knowledgeable than your partner and sometimes they will.
it’s not like men are so pathetic that once women got something approaching equal rights then they became lazy and apathetic out of spite or a lack of other things to do, jesus.
i just find this approach really weird, if you’re respectful to everyone then everyone will usually feel good about themselves and be respectful back. regardless of sex.
Here here! I value being a genteel lady who takes good care of her husband, because he takes good care of me. I’m educated and I have a great job, but that doesn’t mean I feel it’s beneath me to make a good meal for my man, or to let him know how much I appreciate him. I sometimes feel that there are so few ladies left in this world…
There’s about a 99% chance that you live in a country that does not oppress women whatso-f**king-ever. Get over yourself you pseudo intellectual low-life. You seem to think that as soon as you are a guy your entire life is completely heavenly and carefree, if so then please fall of a cliff because such stupidity should not be allowed to live. You may see jokes like this all the time, but I’ve seen thousands of sexist jokes by women that usually suggest that women have superior intellect, the main difference being that THEY actually f**king mean it and rarely anyone objects to it.
It’s true. As I said, radical feminism is dangerous. You watch any prime time sitcom and the formula is usually:
Highly empowered exasperated woman is the only one with brains
Kids constantly in trouble
Dad totally clueless.
Our view of masculinity has so become distorted that even honorable men are no longer respected. men live up to the expectations of others. If you don’t expect much, you won’t get much.
Children desperately need both parents because psychologically, there are some things mothers alone just can’t provide. The majority of all criminals in prison were fatherless. 40% of all kids go to bed with no father each night.
It’s time we started expecting more from our men. (And by expecting more, I don’t mean picking up their socks after we’ve asked them for the 5 millionth time.)
I mean expecting them to be strong, courageous, devoted family men. Men who stand up for truth. Men who take an active involvement in raising their children.
It’s as I’ve said. Treat a good man with respect, and he’ll strive to be a man worth respecting.
(On a side note, while I appreciate you blanking our your expletives, it isn’t polite to curse at a lady, no matter what she’s said. Common courtesy, ya know.)
Please name any culture in any period of history where the average man had a better life (longer life expectancy, lower suicide rate) than the average woman.
If group A lives longer than group B (both in the same environment), would you not consider group A’s life likely to be better?
If group A was less likely to kill themselves than group B, would you not consider group A’s life to be better?
I chose those two because they are rather well recorded and easily comparable. It’s hard to compare other things, such as “rights” as you will find that there are both legal rights and social rights, and while men have usually (other than in today’s western cultures and a few historical examples) had more legal rights, woman have almost always had more social rights… something not easily tracked and often ignored when comparing the genders throughout history.
But the question is, is it really the same environment? In the 1920s, women were expected to be housewives and society dictated that they were only allowed to work in ‘Womens jobs’ such as midwifery. They were denied education and the right to vote in some countries and were treated completely unequally, yet they were still living longer than men and fewer of them committed suicide. It may be too difficult to compare other things such as right, but without looking at these, you cannot truly judge quality of life.
you do realize that the reason women became housewives had to do with wealth at the turn of the century, correct? Only rich people could afford to keep their wives at home as a status symbol. I get so tired of both sides complaining about “rights”. What happened to human rights? If you live in a industrialized country you are way ahead of the curb, so just be grateful for what you have.
It usually has to do with negotiation and asking. Men ask for raises more often than women do, and men negotiate their starting wage more often than women do.
If you compare women and men with the same qualifications, and number of years experience, you will find that women earn 98% of what men earn. You can’t take 10 years off work to care for a child, and not expect that to affect your paycheck.
Having a child is a choice, all choices have consequences.
If you compare single, childless men between 20-30yrs old and single, childless women 20-30yrs old, you’ll actually find women get paid 13% MORE than men.
If your country is the United States, it is because women choose lower paying but more fulfilling jobs, work fewer hours, and take more time off, especially when kids are involved.
All those studies that compare job titles never compare the actual people doing the jobs beyond education.
Well, you obviously have an internet connection… so you aren’t in one of the horrid places you speak of. So you’re aware of freedom of speech, correct? Also, yes. Huge over-reaction. A joke is just that. A joke. Until someone like you strolls along and makes it into a huge disaster. Plus, if your feminist now, then shut up. Feminists treat men like crap. You think you the joke is bad but your the same thing, only reversed. You want to complain about this joke? You better make damn sure your in the right position to do it. Otherwise, your just a hipocrite.
I agree with most of what you see, we need to sort of our treatment of both sexes. As a woman, I believe in equality where possible, but not superiority of either sex. This has been happening over recent years, but the legal system/society in general have not caught up, as you noticed with what you said about dating and domestic disturbances. At the same time, women are still being sexually harrassed, rapes are still happening a shocking amount and there are still cases of women being discriminated against in the workplace.
The only bit I disagree with is your line ‘too busy taking on the pain of women who actually live in countries where women have to worry about being raped’ In 2009 in the US 89,000 women were raped. In the UK, in 2007, 85,000 women were raped. It is a very real problem all around the world, not just in poor countries. Some of those claims were probably false (Another issue that needs sorting) and many were probably not reported.
I completely agree with you “I guess”. This was a women’s rights group, not a feminist group (not that it would make it much better). The comment was immature. And because the guy who posted this actually celebrated his own wittiness by taking a screencap of it and posting it up here to have virtual claps on his back and being called “ballsy” is just ridiculous.
And even more ridiculous, people actually ARE clapping his back and calling him ballsy.
And I would like to remind people that if he would’ve written on the Sexual Equality group something like “hey, you gays wanna come to our heterosexual convention and make us some sandwiches” or to a Racial Equality page something like “hey dudes, wanna come and work for our cotton fields?” people would most likely be calling him with some quite other names than “ballsy”.
As a woman, I would like to say that I would be delighted to make sandwiches for this event–assuming, of course, they don’t mind failtastic pieces of junk for I am a danger in the kitchen.
That doesn’t mean spelling can’t be made fun of. Grammar can as well. I’d sincerely recommend typing properly, it makes you much more credible.

Realise is spelt with an ‘s’ in almost every English speaking dialect outside America, even in England… (who would have thought that? The English spell it with an ‘s’!)
…turns out the spelling Nazi is actually from the United States…
I’d hate to fail on the basis of ignorance like that…! But that’s probably your life in a nutshell.
Wow dude you really think they failed just because they spelt realize the CORRECT way in America? Wow England is so snobby. I’d hate to live there.
At least Americans have a sense of humour. You guys make fun of us for every thing we do wrong! You must be jealous. You wouldn’t care so much if you weren’t.
I bet you say “mum” too, huh? Doesn’t mean you fail just because we spell it a different way here, does it?
What? Do you want us to be just like you? Hell naw! We’re way too cool and laid back to be as super-perfect and snobby as you guys are!
They weren’t being ignorant at all! In fact they were just correcting like you were! I love America. And I don’t care who knows. I’ll shout it from the rooftops.
“I LOVE MY MOTHA F**KIN’ AMERICA!!!!!! F**K YOU ENGLANDERS THAT TRY TO CORRECT US FOR JUST BEING US!!!!”
Think about this: We have Chuck Norris. Who do you have? Robert Pattinson? Yeah….
So you are complaining about the English on something that the English invented…
Loltroll is a troll you idiot and you are as bad as he/she is.
He/she used the spellings from England, possibly referring to the fact that you are speaking the English language so if something is spelt one way in England, it is assumed that it is the ‘Proper’ way.
He never actually said he was English.
I wish I was Mormon. If I had five wives making sandwiches I could believe in God… hell, for a pie or two I might even take a notion of believing that Joseph Smith scrub.
I find the reactions amusing. I find the facebook page equally amusing. The world .. caters to women. The world is truly sexist towards women. The world is so scared to be called anti-women and sexist that it actually IS sexist, and favouring the group it seems to be so scared of.
I wholeheartedly agree that women can do the job to the same level competency and completion as a man.
I wholeheartedly endorse paying them the same.
However there are .. roles to be played. Women have a much more caring nature, generally. Men need to be needed, to be supported and have to feel valuable(Generally in the age-old practice of earning the living)
That said. The roles can and do swap and change to each individual pairs unique personalities.
Think on this: There are hordes of GROWN women, 40+ who scream and cheer for celebrities such as Robert Pattinson and Justin Bieber. Imagine what would happen if there were hordes of men who screamed for Miley Cyrus?
Not a valid Failbook submission. This is part of a raid by trolls on that Facebook group right now which is oversaturating its wall with chauvinistic posts:
Oh Michael, you’re obviously twelve years old.
One day you’ll meet a lovely girl, get married, have family and buy a lovely little house with a white picket fence….
Then you’ll come home one day, and she’ll tell you she doesn’t love you anymore, kick you out of your own house, take all your possessions, use the courts to take most of your pay, refuse to let you see your kids, and have you arrested if you try.
And as you’re lying on your bed in a homeless shelter, you’ll probably think.. gee… I wish there was an organisation that fought for my rights as a father..
1) Name any government-granted right which men have and women do not enjoy in equal or greater measure.
2) Name any government-imposed responsibility when women endure that men do not bear in equal or greater measure.
Now turn those questions around.
Now wonder why feminism exists… they no longer have any cause to petition government for a redress of grievances…. that is, if “equality” is their honest goal (hint: it’s not).
lolcat – Yes, because the Draft has been SUCH a huge problem recently.
Biblio – Thank you for posting such wonderfully educated and well-thought out comments. I have to admit that I happened to have gotten it right and married a wonderful woman who thinks the same way you do on that subject, and I strive to be the kind of man who deserves her. Your husband is an incredibly lucky man, and it sounds like he realizes that!
On that note, I have to agree with EvilDave in that ‘I guess’ sounds like the kind of person that I like to call a slacktivist: someone who gripes and moans and complains on public web forums about any number of political causes, but who, in fact, does absolutely nothing, other than that, to further said cause. They don’t volunteer, they don’t donate, they do bupkis to help other people in worse situations. Truly, all that type of person cares about is stirring the pot, and salving their own guilty conscience.
I guess – All I can say is step up and do something about it if it bothers you so much!
Thank you, Brian. I am very blessed to love and be loved by him. I’m glad you care so much for your lady. I wish you a long and happy life of love and respect together.
I’m actually more “educated” than my husband. I was valedictorian in high school and went to college. He got his GED and never went on to higher education. But he has so much insight into things. I rely on his strength, wisdom, and patience daily. It’s probably one of the few things keeping me sane. And I never make decisions without consulting him. Often times, he’ll see things in situations on a personable level that I with all my education might miss just looking at things logically. Conversely, he’s a wonderful leader in our home. All the final decisions are his, but he never makes them without consulting my opinion first. We’re a team. We work together. But at the end of the day, if we can’t agree on something, the decision is his. I trust his judgment. Is he perfect? No. But if things go wrong, we’ll pick up the pieces together, having been made the wiser for our mistakes.
I can’t believe comments from u Bible folk with ur heads full uf fairy-floss.
Your face must ache from smiling so much, and your backs must be red from patting each other so hard.
More atrocities and human-rights abuse to women, children, and men, have been done in the name of religion (a large proportion Christians), than any other cause in known history.
You really need to stop grab-assing in Bible class and realise most of the hate in the world is because of YOU.
You’re absolutely right. A lot of atrocities have been done in the name of the “Christian” religion. A lot of terrible things have been done in the name of atheism. Of Islam. Of any religion, really.
We’re not perfect. But that’s just the point. We can’t be. Never will be. All world religions are about man trying to be a better person in order to reach God. Christianity (REAL Christianity, not that fluff you see from television preachers and the like) is about God reaching down to bring man up. We don’t do good things in order to be good people. It wouldn’t work even if we tried to. And that’s where a lot of “Christians” go wrong. They think they can be good all by themselves, and they can’t. No one can.
No one.
Don’t let a bunch of loud-mouthed blowhards spoil your opinion of the rest of us. We’re not all like what you’ve seen in the news, you know. The New Testament did more to uplift the rights of women, children, and slaves than had previously been done politically in a thousand years. Women were to be treated as equals. Slaves were to be treated as free men. Children were not to be ignored. Widows were to be cared for.
So, yeah. People who claim to be Christians did a lot of terrible things. But to find out what we’re really all about, you gotta go back to the Book:
John 13:35- By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.
If they don’t love, they aren’t disciples. No matter what they say with their mouths.
For more examples of real love, check out Marshillchurch(dot)org.
Thank you. I don’t think the guy would have actually said that if it were face to face. Us guys have more respect for people than we show on the internet.
Some of us do. Mostly, I have equal respect. It’s just there’s so many more things easy to see on the Internet that are bad qualities, at least to some of us.
I like this. Yeah, the joke’s old, but this one was well delivered, and to use it on an entire woman’s rights group adds something. Somehow more sandwiches = more funny. I don’t claim to understand the math, but it seems to be true.
And to the uber-feminists: lighten up, it’s a JOKE. Some guys just like to tease people who they respect. No offense meant, ladies.
Those’re the ones that don’t evolve past the “Schoolchild” phase, and exist in both genders. Rather than show respect, admiration, and/or love normally, they harass you. Not generally a successful tactic, but in moderation, it can be effective.
I laughed so hard my stomach hurt. Then I read the comments, which became incredibly depressing as they went off into “axe to grind land”, and “preach it land”. But then @SmartMommy brought it back into perspective. I’m a woman. I love men. I love humor. I couldn’t survive the cruelty of the world w/o either. So, thank you Eddie. *kisses*
I’ll just like to add that as a man, there are few things as funny as picking on women, despite our love and respect for them, because the reaction is nearly always huge. Just look at any stand-up comedy show and see the reactions when the artists makes a joke against women. They aren’t half as hearty when the joke is against men.
I completely agree with and support women’s rights, equality of the sexes, etc etc… But I just felt like pointing this out: In reply to Bibliophile’s “go back to the Book” in support of women’s rights thing, I offer this:
“11 Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.
12 But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve;
14 and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression:
15 but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.”
-Timothy 2:11-15
so far Eddie’s relationship….
he never had one
I’m sorry but this is really really funny. Sure Eddie is a douche bag but this was funny.
He should rename himself to Rico Suave (oooh and don’t you people pretend you don’t know who I am talking about)….
Smooth as buttah. On finger sandwiches.
What ARE you talking about?
That took balls.
*high-five*
too bad he won’t have any once the girls get a hold of him
Harsh, man. At least cut out their ovaries.
>.< why can't we all just get along? *Said in Rodney king voice*
cool story bro,
What would be something similar a woman could say in a men’s rights forum? I’m trying to think of an analogy. “Could you come empty the trash at our convention?” And from what I can see, people are laughing at Eddie, but not threatening him with attacking and maiming him.
I think it’s a funny post. I think Eddie posted it as a joke, too.
There are no men’s rights forums as men already rule the world….
Yeah, just read some history books(or watch a history show)to find out why(it might has something to do with Adam and Eve(i don’t know and i don’t care)).
with rat poison? anytime
Arsenic for tea
I’m thinking more Ricin. Probably won’t kill them, but will hurt a LOT. also might make them infertile.
I’m a woman, and I just wanna say…
That was freakin hilarious!
Sammiches at my place!
Same here. Made me lol. =D
Ditto! XD
Ditto used transform.
Ditto transformed into a sandwich
Man used hunger!
It’s super effective!
WIN.
Nice to see some women with a sense of humor on here.
Yes. Well done, you two.
There are no women on the internet. They were joking, sorry to break it to you.
SAMMICHES! *pulls on a toga and charges to your house*
*puts on his butcher’s smock and drags a dead animal to said house.*
I’ve got the meat!
Great! Who’s got the toppings?
You give me meat; I’ll let you top.
And for the record: original post = f*cking HILARIOUS!!
I read that wrong…
Aaaahahaha! Instant classic!
Only if you’re willing to marry them and support them Eddie. We womenfolk don’t just go around making sandwiches for any random guy on the internet you know.
Shut up, woman.

CAUSE I’M WOMAN, HUH?
yeah that wasn’t funny either. wtg champ.
cool storys bros,
Wow, can anyone take a joke? God. It’s not like we’re literally implying superiority or anything, we’re just getting some jokes. I completely respect and love women as my equals and great human beings, but I still found this joke pretty funny.
Get out of your feminist cave sometimes, and breath the fresh air of humor.
that is all kinds of awesome!!!!
Someone give this man a medal
a metal for being an ahole
i see u hatin i dont see u sammichin
u can has spel gewd…i thought they sent girls to elementary school so they could read recipes…
^ haha. priceless. xD
Pretty sure milosh is a man, genius.
A grammar/spelling lesson for the feminist.
How can you guys even read that?
Your name is Hobag???
lol… wow
HoBag, showing the man who’s boss. With a whip and tassles.
(Why somali pirates, WHY?)
Ballsy.
Am I the only one who didn’t think that was at all clever? I think I’ve heard similar jokes thousands of times…
No, I thought it was dull and trite too. The “sandwich” joke is older than I am. If you’re gonna troll people, at least be creative.
Not only that, if you actually go to the group page on facebook there are a few people who copied the jokes since seeing it on failblog. I mean the joke is ok but stupid.
I don’t know what’s worse, this joke or the fact several people have posted now on the groups page since being on failblog.
I’m just glad he said sandwiches and not “sammiches”. God that is so old.
This is WIN with capital letters
u typed win with capital letters
Nothing gets past her…
Lilypad, You’re really, really, really, really smart! Good for you! Now hurry up with those sammiches.
Eddie’s awesome!
awsomly stupid
I have read a lot of your comments, I understand it can’t be easy being dyslexic.
^
WIN.
^ oh god, I was thinking the same thing!
Hey E…. can you lend lilypad some E’s…
it makes me sad that she misspelled it in response to a correctly spelled awEsomE
ZING!
LOL
It’s ballsy to troll a facebook group? -_^ Standards, people…
My thoughts exactly. This is almost as bad as someone posting an intentionally stupid question to Yahoo! and then posting it on failblog like it wasn’t staged and submitted by the same person. At least wait more than 20 seconds before taking a shot of your own post. Unless we are to believe that the submitter is following the Women’s Rights group closely.
Ha ha ha ha. Falsified Failblog Posts can still be funny too though. But give this failblogger the benefit of the doubt, she’s probably the person who runs the Women’s Rights Page and decided to get a quick clip before she hit delete.
Old meme is old.
LOL to people thinking this took balls
yeah it takes a lot of guts to post something on the internet.
Haha, yes I was thinking the same thing. So brave!
This is probably funnier if you don’t live in a culture where you’re treated more as property than as a human being. Ahh, what joy it must be to be a young, male, white, probably able-bodied, straight, educated, well-off person living in Western society and affluent enough to afford an internet connection, not really concerned about rape or being diminished in some way by people who have power over you for having a menstrual cycle or being buried up to your neck and beaten to death with stones for having sex, and asinine enough to screencap your own bad trolling. Congratulations on celebrating your privilege, you douche. I hope you choke on your next sandwich.
I know what you’re thinking now. Overreaction much? Yeah. Get over it. This is the millionth time I’ve seen this kind of joke on the internet, and this time it’s the straw that broke the camel’s back and made her into a raging feminist b*tch.
As a woman, I’m all for female equality. Female superiority, not so much.
We’re equal in the respect that we’re all human. But equality doesn’t equal sameness. There are such things as gender roles, you know.
Men and societies who abuse and mistreat women are terrible. Societies that do that are run by cowardly men who feel the need to punish women because they don’t know what else to do with them.
But beware radical feminism as a response. It was radical feminism that pushed men in Western society to become lazy and chauvinistic. If a woman can do everything a man can do, then she doesn’t need the man in her life. And a man’s greatest desire is to feel needed. With no purpose, men become lazy. With a wife depending on him, good men take heart, work hard, and become heroes. (I ought to know. I married one.)
Ironically, our roles our reversed in our marriage. He cooks. (I ruined hamburger helper once.) I fix things. But acting dominate toward a man isn’t going to make him respect you. It will only make him fear you. And that’s nowhere near the same thing.
Being a woman of character is what makes a difference. Deferring to my husband as my authority (archaic as it may seem) actually does work. The trick is picking a man who will be a good authority, not a domineering one. Treat a good man with respect, and he’ll strive to be a man worth respecting.
^^ J’adore. Exactly what needs to be said.
*bows* Thank you.
It’s often hard for people [especially in today's society] to accept what you said, Bibliophile. I agree with what you said completely, as I also realize that men and women are created equal, but different. This is a problem even for Jews and Christians, who have this in the Bible, men are meant to hold dominion over a house, a woman is his equal but helper, and they must both submit to each other. I suppose that is hard to understand, but know that I am agreeing with you Bibliophile.
It may come as no surprise to you for me to admit that I am a Christian, and proud to be so. And you’re right. It’s a hard pill to swallow. Before I got married, I despised verses in Scripture telling a woman to be “submissive” to her husband.
But as I read “Love and Respect” (a pre-wedding gift from a friend) I got to understand that, though those verses were abused by woman-hating chauvinists in the past, the spirit of what was written was nothing like that. It was about teamwork and partnership. Just as a company has a president and a vice president, so does a family. The wife is vice-president. She has a voice in all matters concerning the family. But in the end, it’s the president’s decision, whether the vice-president agrees or not. But a wise president seeks the advice of his underlings (cabinet, vice-presidents, committees, what have you) before making decisions that impact them.
I was serious when I recommended reading “Love and Respect”. Even from a secular point of view (I have given it to non-Christian friends as wedding presents) it’s a mind-blowing revelation. If more people followed the principles of the husband/wife relationship dynamic, they’d be surprised how much more smoothly things run.
You are amazing
like your just incredible!!! and im serious this made me feel good inside lol
YAY!!! So, so, so true! I tell my daughter-in-law to be sweet and kind all the time and that it will get her everywhere with my son! What ladies need to learn and understand is that equality and being a strong independent woman is wonderful (I am one by the way – educated, well employed, etc.) but tempered with a little deference to your man…. mmmm, mmmmm, mmmm….. he will adore you and go out of his way to please you.
I appreciate that you use the term “ladies.” It makes me smile because my husband has never called me or any other female “woman”. He always refers to me and other women he knows as “ladies”. Not “girl”. Not “woman”. I am his “lady”.
Ladies, place a little trust in a good-hearted man. Men crave respect more than they crave love.
Men, step up and take courage! Be a man of good character, love your lady, and your lady will respect you.
And read “Love and Respect” by Emerson Eggerichs. It will change your whole view of the male/female dynamic.
God, I wish everyone shared the same trail of thought with you. I bow to you.
As a man I think you are completely wrong. Women who “defer” to men make me want to puke – noone should have to “defer” to a partner. Women and Men should be equal in a relationship – share the work as best they can and actually TALK about decisions and be a team.
Men who are little babies that need women to pretend that the man has authority are refered to as Children and not Men. Tell your husband to grow up and both of you stop the stupid playacting and behave like adults.
Whoever said we don’t talk through our situations? But someone has to make a final decision. I give my opinion. We discuss our options. We are a team. But the final call is still his. It’s my way of showing that I trust his judgment. He takes his role as leader of our family very seriously and does everything he can to be a responsible leader. Just as the president of any company would do.
It’s not a matter of simply stroking his ego or making him “feel” important. It’s a matter of him being a vital asset to our family.
He loves me and respects me. I love and respect him back. Neither one is more important than the other.
If only all women thought the way you do, I see women as equal. If women or men are to be a part of a strong household or a family they must work together, not attack each other for dominance and women that try to be equal are not doing it right, if you have to parade and fight for equality you’re not getting it. Women have been equal, if not more-so, for a long time and have also been making sexist jokes in a more serious manner than men yet we still get the backlash for our part. They have the same rights, opportunities and roles as men in Western society… yet it’s the women from Western society that are protesting and if a man was to protest for rights in this society they would be string up by the b***s. Be like this proud, modest and intellectual women and accept that we are all equal
if neither is more important, then why is one the “authority” and one is not?
why is one the president, and one the vice-president?
all of your analogies use terminology that is hierarchical. i get what you mean mostly, but don’t delude yourself–if you’re VP, first mate, second in command, then you are #2. and men who are in love with this line of thinking are just in love with the idea that women think they’re the most important, best authority in the home–which is patriarchy.
Patriarchy is a wonderful thing if the man you’re married to is honorable and responsible. To use an example I’m sure my husband would appreciate:
Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the starship Enterprise. He’s captain. He’s in charge. He runs things. Makes decisions. Commander Riker, his right-hand man. Number One. Always around to give the captain advice.
Now, what do you suppose would happen if Riker and Picard were always fighting about who was in charge? They’d never get anything done, and they’d probably endanger the rest of the crew as a result.
Picard is a good leader, a man of strong character, and always puts the needs and safety of his own crew before himself. Riker is honored to serve under such a great leader. He was even once offered the position of captain aboard his own starship. A position he eventually turned down. Yet, no man is an island. Countless times, he’s turned to Riker for advice. For help. He always weighs what is said in meetings very carefully. But at the end of the day, he’s still captain. He’s still in command. The decision is his to make.
If Picard was a tyrant, if he didn’t care about his crew, if he never asked for a second opinion, it wouldn’t be long before he had a mutiny on his hands. But good people respond well to good leadership. Riker and Picard often disagree on a course of action. But whatever decision Picard makes, Riker always complies, and not just because of duty either. He knows Picard’s track record, and he trusts his captain’s judgment.
My husband is Picard, I am Riker (in a manner of speaking). Our children (when we have some) are our crew. It’s his job to put the safety of us before his own concerns. It’s his job to seek our advice when he’s unsure of a decision or when a decision impacts our lives in a big way. It’s my job to support him. To defend his honor, and teach our children to submit to his authority, and to trust his judgment.
Patriachry, if run by a good man who sincerely loves and wants what’s best for his family, is a wonderful way to live. It is cowards and sloths who abuse their authority. Sadly, in today’s society, the world is too full of boys who can shave. The amount of men, real honest men, has declined in favor of 40 year old teenagers who never got out of mommy’s basement and who don’t know anything about women except what Esquire and Spike TV tell them about us.
You mentinoed that “men who are in love with this line of thinking are just in love with the idea that women think they’re the most important.”
That’s not true. Not if the man in question is a man of honor and character. If you are a woman, seek a good, strong (morally) man of character who will love you, lead you, and serve you as a leader. (For leadership is service, when done properly).
If you’re a man, strive to be a man of courage, honor, and truth. Lead your lady and your family through the easy times and the hard times. Never relinquish them to the harshness of the world, but fight for them, protect them, and inspire greatness in them.
Sorry if my answer was so long. It’s early. I haven’t had my caffiene yet. Maybe every guy or gal you’ve known has abused or been abused by this system. If that’s so, I’m sorry. A lot of cowardly men and insecure women have used this system to a disadvantage to themselves and others and tainted how it’s really supposed to work. But if you can find someone who believes in a system like the one I’ve described, and who can actually live it, you’ll be surprised at what you can do together.
I sincerely hope you find what you’re looking for.
Win. Ultimate win.
for f**k’s sake can’t people be independent adults and treat other people with respect regardless of sex?
there really is no reason to ‘defer’ to anyone. sometimes you’ll be more knowledgeable than your partner and sometimes they will.
it’s not like men are so pathetic that once women got something approaching equal rights then they became lazy and apathetic out of spite or a lack of other things to do, jesus.
i just find this approach really weird, if you’re respectful to everyone then everyone will usually feel good about themselves and be respectful back. regardless of sex.
You win. Definitely.
Here here! I value being a genteel lady who takes good care of her husband, because he takes good care of me. I’m educated and I have a great job, but that doesn’t mean I feel it’s beneath me to make a good meal for my man, or to let him know how much I appreciate him. I sometimes feel that there are so few ladies left in this world…
You are brilliant
seriously, you are amazing!
There’s about a 99% chance that you live in a country that does not oppress women whatso-f**king-ever. Get over yourself you pseudo intellectual low-life. You seem to think that as soon as you are a guy your entire life is completely heavenly and carefree, if so then please fall of a cliff because such stupidity should not be allowed to live. You may see jokes like this all the time, but I’ve seen thousands of sexist jokes by women that usually suggest that women have superior intellect, the main difference being that THEY actually f**king mean it and rarely anyone objects to it.
Hurr durr all women are oppressed! Hurr durr all guys have wonderful carefree lives and oppress us! Herp a derp derp!
It’s true. As I said, radical feminism is dangerous. You watch any prime time sitcom and the formula is usually:
Highly empowered exasperated woman is the only one with brains
Kids constantly in trouble
Dad totally clueless.
Our view of masculinity has so become distorted that even honorable men are no longer respected. men live up to the expectations of others. If you don’t expect much, you won’t get much.
Children desperately need both parents because psychologically, there are some things mothers alone just can’t provide. The majority of all criminals in prison were fatherless. 40% of all kids go to bed with no father each night.
It’s time we started expecting more from our men. (And by expecting more, I don’t mean picking up their socks after we’ve asked them for the 5 millionth time.)
I mean expecting them to be strong, courageous, devoted family men. Men who stand up for truth. Men who take an active involvement in raising their children.
It’s as I’ve said. Treat a good man with respect, and he’ll strive to be a man worth respecting.
(On a side note, while I appreciate you blanking our your expletives, it isn’t polite to curse at a lady, no matter what she’s said. Common courtesy, ya know.)
“it isn’t polite to curse at a lady”?
A) proving my point
B) that isn’t a lady.
*looks over illogical ranting argument*
Please name any culture in any period of history where the average man had a better life (longer life expectancy, lower suicide rate) than the average woman.
Are you saying that these factors represent a better life?
If group A lives longer than group B (both in the same environment), would you not consider group A’s life likely to be better?
If group A was less likely to kill themselves than group B, would you not consider group A’s life to be better?
I chose those two because they are rather well recorded and easily comparable. It’s hard to compare other things, such as “rights” as you will find that there are both legal rights and social rights, and while men have usually (other than in today’s western cultures and a few historical examples) had more legal rights, woman have almost always had more social rights… something not easily tracked and often ignored when comparing the genders throughout history.
But the question is, is it really the same environment? In the 1920s, women were expected to be housewives and society dictated that they were only allowed to work in ‘Womens jobs’ such as midwifery. They were denied education and the right to vote in some countries and were treated completely unequally, yet they were still living longer than men and fewer of them committed suicide. It may be too difficult to compare other things such as right, but without looking at these, you cannot truly judge quality of life.
you do realize that the reason women became housewives had to do with wealth at the turn of the century, correct? Only rich people could afford to keep their wives at home as a status symbol. I get so tired of both sides complaining about “rights”. What happened to human rights? If you live in a industrialized country you are way ahead of the curb, so just be grateful for what you have.
TL;DR
Women get paid less for the SAME JOB. In my country, 30% less. Explain that please.
It usually has to do with negotiation and asking. Men ask for raises more often than women do, and men negotiate their starting wage more often than women do.
If you compare women and men with the same qualifications, and number of years experience, you will find that women earn 98% of what men earn. You can’t take 10 years off work to care for a child, and not expect that to affect your paycheck.
Having a child is a choice, all choices have consequences.
If you compare single, childless men between 20-30yrs old and single, childless women 20-30yrs old, you’ll actually find women get paid 13% MORE than men.
Quit complaining about how privileged you are!
If your country is the United States, it is because women choose lower paying but more fulfilling jobs, work fewer hours, and take more time off, especially when kids are involved.
All those studies that compare job titles never compare the actual people doing the jobs beyond education.
Well, you obviously have an internet connection… so you aren’t in one of the horrid places you speak of. So you’re aware of freedom of speech, correct? Also, yes. Huge over-reaction. A joke is just that. A joke. Until someone like you strolls along and makes it into a huge disaster. Plus, if your feminist now, then shut up. Feminists treat men like crap. You think you the joke is bad but your the same thing, only reversed. You want to complain about this joke? You better make damn sure your in the right position to do it. Otherwise, your just a hipocrite.
I agree with most of what you see, we need to sort of our treatment of both sexes. As a woman, I believe in equality where possible, but not superiority of either sex. This has been happening over recent years, but the legal system/society in general have not caught up, as you noticed with what you said about dating and domestic disturbances. At the same time, women are still being sexually harrassed, rapes are still happening a shocking amount and there are still cases of women being discriminated against in the workplace.
The only bit I disagree with is your line ‘too busy taking on the pain of women who actually live in countries where women have to worry about being raped’ In 2009 in the US 89,000 women were raped. In the UK, in 2007, 85,000 women were raped. It is a very real problem all around the world, not just in poor countries. Some of those claims were probably false (Another issue that needs sorting) and many were probably not reported.
I completely agree with you “I guess”. This was a women’s rights group, not a feminist group (not that it would make it much better). The comment was immature. And because the guy who posted this actually celebrated his own wittiness by taking a screencap of it and posting it up here to have virtual claps on his back and being called “ballsy” is just ridiculous.
And even more ridiculous, people actually ARE clapping his back and calling him ballsy.
And I would like to remind people that if he would’ve written on the Sexual Equality group something like “hey, you gays wanna come to our heterosexual convention and make us some sandwiches” or to a Racial Equality page something like “hey dudes, wanna come and work for our cotton fields?” people would most likely be calling him with some quite other names than “ballsy”.
Nuff said.
Of course though, If he were to wait longer to make it appear more authentic, you would wonder how long the post would last as the title says
Hahaha, for once I see a troll that’s actually kind of funny!
Hope the women from the page have a sense of humour though, for the guy’s sake.
I am a girl and I definately lol’d at this
me too
Same :3
This belongs more on Art of Trolling, but heh, it’s funny
sooooooo old
I’m a girl and didn’t laugh at this :O Sooo old. C’mon, ‘I don’t think women are inferior except that I do’ -folk, you can do better than that!
We’re not inferior. We obviously make better sandwiches, or the guys wouldn’t keep asking for them.
Win. That’s all I can say!
Oui!
Win!
This is so true I can not even state how much I agree with it. I can never make sandwiches as good as any woman I have had a sandwich from.
I’m all for replacing sandwiches with pies.
I second that emotion!
Blueberry pies!
this guy requires some type of reward
… a very good sandwich?
Or arsenic tea….
Thats hilarious.
I’m sorry which man gave y’all ladies permission to speak?
My husband. The only man who has that authority.
Good, at least one of you has common sense.
HA!!
As a woman, I would like to say that I would be delighted to make sandwiches for this event–assuming, of course, they don’t mind failtastic pieces of junk for I am a danger in the kitchen.
Eddie almost had something good. He almost had something to chuckle at.
Then he totally killed it by adding in the sandwich joke.
but then where would the joke be?
hey, you guys wanna here a really funny joke…..
Womens Rights.
you know what’s an even funnier joke? Women.
Your mom
Definitely Your mom.
*Hear
*Women’s
I may be “inferior” but at least I can spell and use proper grammar.
Win for women across the globe….
i believe you fail to realise this is the internet. and therefor spelling doesn’t matter for much unless you are a “grammer-nazi”.
That doesn’t mean spelling can’t be made fun of. Grammar can as well. I’d sincerely recommend typing properly, it makes you much more credible.
CORRECTIONS:

^ American idiot.
Realise is spelt with an ‘s’ in almost every English speaking dialect outside America, even in England… (who would have thought that? The English spell it with an ‘s’!)
…turns out the spelling Nazi is actually from the United States…
I’d hate to fail on the basis of ignorance like that…! But that’s probably your life in a nutshell.
Peace from the real world.
Wow dude you really think they failed just because they spelt realize the CORRECT way in America? Wow England is so snobby. I’d hate to live there.
At least Americans have a sense of humour. You guys make fun of us for every thing we do wrong! You must be jealous. You wouldn’t care so much if you weren’t.
I bet you say “mum” too, huh? Doesn’t mean you fail just because we spell it a different way here, does it?
What? Do you want us to be just like you? Hell naw! We’re way too cool and laid back to be as super-perfect and snobby as you guys are!
They weren’t being ignorant at all! In fact they were just correcting like you were! I love America. And I don’t care who knows. I’ll shout it from the rooftops.
“I LOVE MY MOTHA F**KIN’ AMERICA!!!!!! F**K YOU ENGLANDERS THAT TRY TO CORRECT US FOR JUST BEING US!!!!”
Think about this: We have Chuck Norris. Who do you have? Robert Pattinson? Yeah….
So you are complaining about the English on something that the English invented…
Loltroll is a troll you idiot and you are as bad as he/she is.
He/she used the spellings from England, possibly referring to the fact that you are speaking the English language so if something is spelt one way in England, it is assumed that it is the ‘Proper’ way.
He never actually said he was English.
Indeed. Please don’t feed the trolls, dude.
that man… deserves an award.
I wish I was Mormon. If I had five wives making sandwiches I could believe in God… hell, for a pie or two I might even take a notion of believing that Joseph Smith scrub.
Now I’m kinda wondering whether “Mens Rights Conventions” actually exist, and if so, do the really have sandwiches?
And how much does it cost to attend?!
Wtf why should we reward that?? Wouldn’t it be easier if we were just equal and people didn’t act so ignorant?
How original.
I find the reactions amusing. I find the facebook page equally amusing. The world .. caters to women. The world is truly sexist towards women. The world is so scared to be called anti-women and sexist that it actually IS sexist, and favouring the group it seems to be so scared of.
I wholeheartedly agree that women can do the job to the same level competency and completion as a man.
I wholeheartedly endorse paying them the same.
However there are .. roles to be played. Women have a much more caring nature, generally. Men need to be needed, to be supported and have to feel valuable(Generally in the age-old practice of earning the living)
That said. The roles can and do swap and change to each individual pairs unique personalities.
Think on this: There are hordes of GROWN women, 40+ who scream and cheer for celebrities such as Robert Pattinson and Justin Bieber. Imagine what would happen if there were hordes of men who screamed for Miley Cyrus?
Or hordes of 40+ year old men screaming for 16-year old girls. Pedophiles everywhere! And yet somehow, it doesn’t work that way.
Not a valid Failbook submission. This is part of a raid by trolls on that Facebook group right now which is oversaturating its wall with chauvinistic posts:
facebook.com/womensrights
There are Men’s Rights Organizations; they are mainly devoted to finding ways to get out of child support and legally harass their ex-wives.
Oh Michael, you’re obviously twelve years old.
One day you’ll meet a lovely girl, get married, have family and buy a lovely little house with a white picket fence….
Then you’ll come home one day, and she’ll tell you she doesn’t love you anymore, kick you out of your own house, take all your possessions, use the courts to take most of your pay, refuse to let you see your kids, and have you arrested if you try.
And as you’re lying on your bed in a homeless shelter, you’ll probably think.. gee… I wish there was an organisation that fought for my rights as a father..
Well said, Matt.
1) Name any government-granted right which men have and women do not enjoy in equal or greater measure.
2) Name any government-imposed responsibility when women endure that men do not bear in equal or greater measure.
Now turn those questions around.
Now wonder why feminism exists… they no longer have any cause to petition government for a redress of grievances…. that is, if “equality” is their honest goal (hint: it’s not).
The Draft.
lolcat – Yes, because the Draft has been SUCH a huge problem recently.
Biblio – Thank you for posting such wonderfully educated and well-thought out comments. I have to admit that I happened to have gotten it right and married a wonderful woman who thinks the same way you do on that subject, and I strive to be the kind of man who deserves her. Your husband is an incredibly lucky man, and it sounds like he realizes that!
On that note, I have to agree with EvilDave in that ‘I guess’ sounds like the kind of person that I like to call a slacktivist: someone who gripes and moans and complains on public web forums about any number of political causes, but who, in fact, does absolutely nothing, other than that, to further said cause. They don’t volunteer, they don’t donate, they do bupkis to help other people in worse situations. Truly, all that type of person cares about is stirring the pot, and salving their own guilty conscience.
I guess – All I can say is step up and do something about it if it bothers you so much!
Thank you, Brian. I am very blessed to love and be loved by him. I’m glad you care so much for your lady. I wish you a long and happy life of love and respect together.
I’m actually more “educated” than my husband. I was valedictorian in high school and went to college. He got his GED and never went on to higher education. But he has so much insight into things. I rely on his strength, wisdom, and patience daily. It’s probably one of the few things keeping me sane. And I never make decisions without consulting him. Often times, he’ll see things in situations on a personable level that I with all my education might miss just looking at things logically. Conversely, he’s a wonderful leader in our home. All the final decisions are his, but he never makes them without consulting my opinion first. We’re a team. We work together. But at the end of the day, if we can’t agree on something, the decision is his. I trust his judgment. Is he perfect? No. But if things go wrong, we’ll pick up the pieces together, having been made the wiser for our mistakes.
It’s a wonderful way to live.
Wankers.
Hehe.
I can’t believe comments from u Bible folk with ur heads full uf fairy-floss.
Your face must ache from smiling so much, and your backs must be red from patting each other so hard.
More atrocities and human-rights abuse to women, children, and men, have been done in the name of religion (a large proportion Christians), than any other cause in known history.
You really need to stop grab-assing in Bible class and realise most of the hate in the world is because of YOU.
No one else.
No one.
You’re absolutely right. A lot of atrocities have been done in the name of the “Christian” religion. A lot of terrible things have been done in the name of atheism. Of Islam. Of any religion, really.
We’re not perfect. But that’s just the point. We can’t be. Never will be. All world religions are about man trying to be a better person in order to reach God. Christianity (REAL Christianity, not that fluff you see from television preachers and the like) is about God reaching down to bring man up. We don’t do good things in order to be good people. It wouldn’t work even if we tried to. And that’s where a lot of “Christians” go wrong. They think they can be good all by themselves, and they can’t. No one can.
No one.
Don’t let a bunch of loud-mouthed blowhards spoil your opinion of the rest of us. We’re not all like what you’ve seen in the news, you know. The New Testament did more to uplift the rights of women, children, and slaves than had previously been done politically in a thousand years. Women were to be treated as equals. Slaves were to be treated as free men. Children were not to be ignored. Widows were to be cared for.
So, yeah. People who claim to be Christians did a lot of terrible things. But to find out what we’re really all about, you gotta go back to the Book:
John 13:35- By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.
If they don’t love, they aren’t disciples. No matter what they say with their mouths.
For more examples of real love, check out Marshillchurch(dot)org.
Well, I’m not religious as you can no doubt tell.
But, I must admit, you are setting a better example for your religion than the mindless christian militants on this site, and indeed across the world.
Peace.
That is the best compliment I’ve received all week. Thank you for brightening my day!
Peace to you as well. <3
I’m not saying it was a huge problem, I’m just saying that the inequality is there.
I see what you did there.
ITS A JOKE! I am a modern woman who believes in equality. This is just a joke playing up the inequalities that have or do exist. it was FUNNY!
Thank you. I don’t think the guy would have actually said that if it were face to face. Us guys have more respect for people than we show on the internet.
Some of us do. Mostly, I have equal respect. It’s just there’s so many more things easy to see on the Internet that are bad qualities, at least to some of us.
I like this. Yeah, the joke’s old, but this one was well delivered, and to use it on an entire woman’s rights group adds something. Somehow more sandwiches = more funny. I don’t claim to understand the math, but it seems to be true.
And to the uber-feminists: lighten up, it’s a JOKE. Some guys just like to tease people who they respect. No offense meant, ladies.
lool none taken,, this made my day :”D
Those’re the ones that don’t evolve past the “Schoolchild” phase, and exist in both genders. Rather than show respect, admiration, and/or love normally, they harass you. Not generally a successful tactic, but in moderation, it can be effective.
1up ftw
Wow. What a tired old joke.
Yeah. I’d probably chuckle at it if I didn’t hear it all the time, but by this point all I can do is just facepalm and shake my head a little. >>
This is so epic it brought tears to my eyes…
where’s the fail? All I see is an epic win!
I’m a woman and I laughed my ass off at this.
same :’D
simply fantastic.
I laughed so hard my stomach hurt. Then I read the comments, which became incredibly depressing as they went off into “axe to grind land”, and “preach it land”. But then @SmartMommy brought it back into perspective. I’m a woman. I love men. I love humor. I couldn’t survive the cruelty of the world w/o either. So, thank you Eddie. *kisses*
I’ll just like to add that as a man, there are few things as funny as picking on women, despite our love and respect for them, because the reaction is nearly always huge. Just look at any stand-up comedy show and see the reactions when the artists makes a joke against women. They aren’t half as hearty when the joke is against men.
Epic win! That indeed took balls. Hope the gals over there didn’t took offense. As the troll would say, “He did it for the lulz”
lol what the heck is it with dudes and sandwiches? I mean, I’m a guy too but frankly… I’d rather have pizza….
I LOVE this meme
win, epic win, +3 internetz to you my good sir
+50 internetz for you
ok im a girl but this is FUNNY!!!!!!! :””’D
lol calm yourself woman its jst a joke
Woman, have rights already, what more do u want. feminists
My response would have been: ‘Sure! As long as you don’t mind them being made out of your fresh corpse!
’
Yay for absolute troll war-inducing submission!
That’s freakin funny…<3 it!
This is hilarious!!!!
What a legend
This. Is. Pure. Win.

“women; can’t live with them, ………pass the beernuts” Norm Peterson Cheers

Awshum.

haha the guy rox !!!!
;DD
feminism= for women who can’t make proper sammiches.
I completely agree with and support women’s rights, equality of the sexes, etc etc… But I just felt like pointing this out: In reply to Bibliophile’s “go back to the Book” in support of women’s rights thing, I offer this:
“11 Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.
12 But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve;
14 and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression:
15 but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.”
-Timothy 2:11-15
Make of it what you will.
