Funny shit.

Onion every once in a while will make fun of feminists. I saw one article which talked about NOW electing a male president with the quote in the headline: "we realized we needed someone with balls to get things done around here." Was a pretty funny article also.

I realized that there's another message, perhaps unintended, in this satirical video.  As the government has supplanted the role of husband in society, damaged women have directed their anger at the government itself.

aka - Government as "Sugar Daddy."  Yes, I kept waiting for that video to blame men out of one side of the mouth and government out the other - more than it did.

Men who pay for women's way on dates set a very, very bad precedent in many women's minds, i.e., "he'll take care of me," "he pays, I play," "what's his is mine," "you owe me," "I'm entitled," etc, etc, etc.  Chivalrous dating is one side of the two sided sword of gender feminism and the male-paid, chivalrous date, IMO.  The male-paid date is sort of an unwritten contract, that sets the tone for the relationship that follows.  No wonder men get screwed and screwed again in divorce courts.

So true. On the other hand, women have something to sell, ie. their reproductive capacity, and that'll always find buyers.

There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment,  a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionally. When the affection is the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted.

I was thinking EXACTLY that.
