Wasn't going to rise to the bait, but here goes ...

- Invented the ironing board, dishwasher, washing machine, everything that makes your life so perfect.

- Allowed you to think you're superior.

- Allowed you to think you're liberated.

Need I go on? Everything you've got has come from us, right from the days when we would go out hunting sabre-tooth tigers while you stayed at home with the tupperware parties.

Even the so-called girl-power bands are managed, produced and written-for by men.

Hey, we ain't usless. Consider our contributions:

1. NASCAR, fir starters, ladies. I mean where would the world be without stock car racing? Hunh? Answer me that one!

2. Beer Consumption! Do you ladies realize what would happen to the world economy without us making this sacrifice? Do you? Didn't think so!

3. WAR's. I suppose you ladies are up to the task of startin' these things... Yeah, right. Not only do we start 'em but we do most of the killin'!

Now those are just fir starters. Don't mess with men!!! *^%$^#*&)...

Well apart from the odd poke now and then.

There's going out and earning money.
There's fixing things around the house.
Opening jars and bottles.
Making bread and pastry.
Doing the dishes.
Taking out the garbage.
Washing out the garbage can.
Cleaning the car.
Fixing the car.
Carrying the heavy stuff.
Singing to you.
There's making those things that you just can't buy, like that baking dish that fits cattywampus in the oven so that you can bake a whole salmon.
There's back rubs and foot rubs.
And scratching that spot in the middle of you back which you can't reach.
Telling you that you're beautiful.

What MORE do you want.

Well just ask and we'll do it for you.

I got up, had a wash and then ironed both our sets of clothes for work. I made both our lunches (giving you the nicer one). I made you a cup of tea and breakfast in bed, and made myself late for work by sitting and listening to you telling me how you feel.

I got home from work three hours later than you, and had to listen to how bad your day was. I made dinner because you felt tired. I told you how beautiful you are, and tried to understand

That's what I did for you.

Yet, for simply saying that I wanted to spend a couple of hours by myself, I'm told that I'm a 'selfish bastard' I'm sorry, but PMT really doesn't wash.

"Allowed you to think you're liberated." Guest T-boy, that may be tongue in cheek, but that comes uncomfortably close to the truth. Men have sometimes (ha! Always?) thought of themselves as being of primary importance. "Americans love their country- and by and large, their wives feel the same."

Among the things I've been grateful for when it comes to men is that they have an outie and women have an innie... :)

In fact I think this is the first "What have ******** ever done for us?" thread I have ever opened, and it seems to just confirm what people keep saying...

Well, this seemed just the group of people that would at least giggle at this...

Q: How many women with PMS does it take to change a
light bulb?
A: One. Only ONE! And do you know WHY? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb! They don't even know that the bulb is BURNED OUT! They would sit in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it out. And, once they figured it out, they wouldn't be able to find the light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CUPBOARD for the past 17 YEARS! But if they did, by some miracle, actually find them 2 DAYS LATER, the chair they dragged to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT! AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE WRAPPER THE STUPID @!#$% LIGHT BULBS CAME IN! WHY? BECAUSE NO-ONE EVER CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE! IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE 12' DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE. THE HOUSE! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS #@$!#@$!#@!... HOUSE!

:) Thanks, Clareling! It just got a lot brighter around here!

What have men ever done for us? Three things (regarding PMS, anyway) - they put up (rather patronizingly) with our monthly mood swings; they give us a very easy target to fire complaints at during those mood swings; and they kindly provide us with the opportunity to vary our 'bitchiness' - by exchanging PMS for pregnancy (kind of a long, drawn-out state of PMS)!

WHo could ask for more??

Indoor plumbing
Hot water
Manufacturing systems that are automated
Manned flight

HEY! Lets go in my car!.....O, you cant get out? Thats right, the door is still duckt taped shut....
I would usually say, well, he tried, but the only thing wrong with the door is that the paint was chipped a little. O well, heas still good for other things.

A bit more relief on the subject...
PMS
Pass My Shotgun
Psychotic Mood Shift
Pack My Stuff
Permanent Menstrual Syndrome
Perpetual Munching Spree
Puffy Mid-Section
People make me sick
Provide Me with Sweets
Pardon My Sobbing
Pimples May Surface
Pass My Sweatpants
Pissy Mood Syndrome
Plainly Men Suck

God created woman and she had 3 breasts.
He then asked the woman,
"Is there anything you'd like to have changed?"
She replied, "Yes, could get rid of this middle breast?"
And so it was done, and it was good.
Then the woman exclaimed as she was holding the third breast in her hand," What can be done with this useless boob?"
And God created man.

That's why I never married... :-) I didn't want to be put in that sort of anomalous situation. I also do not believe in diamonds, which are valueless to me, nor do I believe in clubs. I believe in hearts.

I enjoy my freedom. Here's hoping you enjoy yours too. I haven't met one single woman yet who managed to avoid the almost irresistible social pressures to either "marry or become an old maid". What a crock. I did know one who held out till she was in her middle 30's, but she finally cracked. She was a very neat person...haven't seen her in years now, but I wish her all good things.

You don't need someone else beside you to be a whole person. Nor will the avoidance of marriage cause your life to be loveless. Quite the contrary. If you want love, just love others and it will come back to you sevenfold.

One trouble with monogamous relationships is that people try to squeeze too much of their love into just that one relationship, to the detriment of the rest of their life. You see how isolated they can get when they do that...

And no, I am not talking about sex here. I'm talking about love.

Ha! Ha! Ha! What a naive idiot that guy must be. He should go to Blind River and hook up with BDiBR. They would probably get along great, and they could cruise the bars (I think there are 2 or 3 in that town) looking for "action".

Here's a joke I heard a while back:

Question: How do you get your girlfriend to quit bugging you for sex all the time?

Answer: *** Marry her. ***

Sad, but in many cases...true. It can work the other way too. This guy should be told. :-)

But your speech would've been wasted on him, Clareling. For a neat movie with a duck in it, rent "Howard The Duck". It's unique, and a lot of fun too.

Margaret Thatcher is a woman? I didn't think she was even human.

Well, I have had a love/hate relationship with men just about all my life. Who hasn't? I have come to the conclusion, though, that I love them a lot more than I hate them, and the reasons I ever hated them in the first place were inconsequential to begin with. :-)

There's a man I see in my local supermarket. His wife is obviously dying and in a wheelchair. He pushes her and her adapted trolley around the aisles. He bends down to listen to her whispered requests. He picks up what she wants, asks is it the right one, puts it in the trolley. They smile at each other a lot. He has infinite patience. He obviously adores his wife. He's THERE!
That's what men do for women and women do for men.
It seems to me that if you have to ask this question you just haven't found the right person.

Well, I don't have a love hate relationship with men. I have a love/indifference relationship with them...the good ones I love and the others I just don't relate to at all...I just don't interact with them I guess and they have no interest in me either...I count myself lucky.

Thank you! So, De Orc's in de SHED!! Don't look up now, but Off with de head!!!

" The black widow builds her web in dark places near the ground, preferring the sheltered sides of buildings, abandoned rodent holes, or openings in stone outcroppings. She seldom ventures indoors, but anyone living in black widow territory should be aware that she sometimes makes a home in outbuildings such as woodsheds or outdoor toilets."

Time for some fOrcin lunch!

Supermarkets, nylons, inter-state highway system, air transport, cell phones, computer software and hardware, fabrics and their colors, architecture, glass, lighting, advances in cosmetics, sanitary pads, infertility treatment methods, refrigeration, distribution of produce year-round, improved techniques for heating and ventilation....by and large, I'd say a good deal.

On the downside, they are also largely responsible for more ridiculous things, such as advanced weapons systems, cheap handguns, and organized religion, so p'raps its a toss-up.

Recently the conclusion was reached on the "Are We the Evil Empire" thread that men have been largely responsible for the evolution of the form of governance known as "PluTesto-Kleptocracy" - rule by wealthy male thieves!!

What an accomplishment, dudes!

I have to admit, in all honesty, that men have been better friends to me overall, than women have. Women sometimes seem to have this way of being intimidated by other women, and defend themselves by being mean. But I reckon I don't need people like that for my friends anyhow!

PRAYER FOR WOMAN

Dear Lord I pray
For wisdom to understand my man
Love to forgive him
Patience for his moods
Because Lord, if I pray for Strength
I'll beat him to death.
