How we were DUPED by Sister Suffragette!

WOMEN's RIGHTS

WTF were women thinking?

We had it pretty damned good.
We got up,
had a nice breakfast with our families,
spent an hour or so cleaning,
did our hair and make up,
maybe some gardening,
met our friends for lunch or got together in the kitchen for coffee.

We exercised,
bought a new dress perhaps,
and were home to meet the kids after school where we helped them with their homework or had them practice the trombone or cartwheels.

We freshened up a bit before our hubbies came home so they didn't have to go elsewhere to look at a pretty lady, and they appreciated that enough to bring us flowers for the kitchen that they picked up on the way home.

We had the kids set the table while we finished making a delicious meal (including pie) and they helped with the dishes after.

Then we all sat around on the porch or played games in the living room, we went to bed with enough energy left to fool around.


But noooooooooooooooo, we wanted to VOTE.


We wanted to be self sufficient.


Well screw that.

I don't know about you, but I barely have time to take a 3 minute shower because I am rushin' off to work.

I stick my hair in a ponytail, and cooking a meal consists of pulling some stew like concoction out of the freezer and tossing premade rolls in the oven as I open a can of green beans most days.

My man sees me in pajama pants more than anything else and my dishes sit in the sink all night sometimes and I don't think the vaccuum has been put away in days~it just SITS there in the den, reminding me that I am too damned busy to use it.

If your man cheats.. can ya BLAME him?

He sees single women who have all the time in the world to be pretty, get their nails done, fix their hair, keep a perfect house.

*Try finding the money or the time to do those things when you are raising a kid(s), trying to clean your house and working a 50 hour a week job.

THOSE women are not real guys..
...they are US before we had you and kids.

~and they will BE us once it happens to them~

swear.

Men used to open doors,
buy flowers (really, when was the last time you got flowers before a date???)
and treat you like you were special.

Well, since they found out they could divorce us because we "can support ourselves", they trade us in on newer models and we are left trying to raise children in the few hours we have left when we get home after work....WHICH is the root of the problem.

No men home to show boys how to treat a women.

If DAD doesn't respect you, why should they.right?
of course right, so damnit. I'm back full circle.

It's women's fault because we wanted to VOTE.

and what did we get in exchange?


BUSH.
crap.

Ya really think the vote did it? I think it was not being satisfied AFTER the vote that we wanted to burn our bras AND vote too.

It's what the VOTE represents, I think. Not necessarily just voting...having our opinions heard?...not just that. Just what it represents....that we don't need a man necessarily, and that we can do anything they can do. Which we cannot....most of what they can, yes, but everything, no. We need them, they need us. Maybe not in the traditional senses anymore, but nonetheless.
