Or: PJ says it briefly and first.
Spent the holiday with some family members of the "my husband is the breadwinner and how unfair for a woman to have to have the stress of earning an income, he's just not holding up his end" mindset (one of whom hasn't worked in a year to be mommy so they are about to lose their house because of the drop in income, which is of course all his fault), and I have to say all I could think was "greedy, lazy, user, ho-bitches."
If most women out there are like that, I am surprised more of you guys don't date female lawyers. We might still quit to live off your salary, but we'd know why the extra money wasn't there and at least have sympathy and be able to pick up the slack when you have that inevitable nerveous breakdown.
Again, as I have said before, I think it is much better to be a woman in current American society than a man. You men are fucking trapped, bitchslapped with the double standard. It totally sucks. I understand more and more in this job why men ditch Wife No. 1 for some nubile 19 year old skank - at least the "buy-sell" aspects of the transaction are honest and clear.
