My cynical side believes that she, in some sick manor, wishes he would indeed re-enlist, and hopefully come back in a body bag – with a widdows check attached of course…

This works the same way with women discovering the current system of injustices against men. Their interest stems from projection: that man could have been my son/father/brother/husband. The problem men have is that in the current society, women are often estranged from most of the men in their lives to whom they have, or should have, an emotional attachment. Even their sons and husbands spend most of the day away from them, even on the weekends. If families were more closely tied, then a lot of this nonsense would die off on its own.

That is the ‘modern wife’. My husband should risk his life for me and I have no obligations at all. This is what you are marrying if you marry today.

Only a complete idiot would get married today. I have no respect for men marrying today.

Absolutely on the ‘mark’ if you will excuse the pun. When women are:

51% of war dead (over the history of the world)
51% of workplace dead
51% of incarcerated
51% of homeless

AND it is just as acceptable to hit a woman as it is a man THEN I might start listening to how women are ‘equal’. Until then I consider ANY woman my inferior and ANY man who claims women as equal my inferior.

ANY man claiming women are equal is nothing but a mangina apologist and deserves no respect because he is not paying due respect to those men who gave their lives for his benefit, whereas almost NO WOMEN gave their lives for his benefit.

HL..great writing as per usual. Not much to comment because you say it so well.

To be honest watching this happen was nice atavistic fun and it only added to my glee that she was a stereotypical bespectacled young white chick in a VW and they were hoodish looking black dudes. I like to imagine that her nerfed sheltered worldview was shattered that night but that’s probably just wishful thinking.

Dude, she’s not used to running over black hoods, just fucking them.

For instance, I used to open doors for women, get out of their way on crowded city streets, give up my seat on a crowded train, etc. But now I absolutely refuse to do anything to help a women in public unless she is blood kin, disabled, elderly or there’s some other serious reason that I need to help. And just having a pussy is not a serious reason.

For example, in a “happening” part of DC one recent Friday night I watched a young out-of-state woman driver almost hit two male pedestrians due to her own carelessness, after which they both proceeded to kick the shit out of her nice car while she was still in it trapped in traffic and generally scare some of the bullshit bluster out of her.

To be honest watching this happen was nice atavistic fun and it only added to my glee that she was a stereotypical bespectacled young white chick in a VW and they were hoodish looking black dudes. I like to imagine that her nerfed sheltered worldview was shattered that night but that’s probably just wishful thinking.

Initially my male companions wanted to help her out, but I talked them out of it. That bitch caused her own problem and consequently she had an opportunity to learn a lesson about life that isn’t taught in a classroom or mandated by corporate mores or government regulations. So who were we to interfere in a potential culling of the herd?

Wherever she works I have no doubt that she would be the first to yell about rights – but never her responsibilities – when it suited her purposes. But that night I imagine she would have appreciated being treated like an old-fashioned helpless damsel who needed a big strong male defender to protect her from the hordes at the gate. Too bad for her then that I was there.

Anyone who has worked in a professional environment in the imperial capital understands the type that this place attracts. DC is essentially like Hollywood for ugly fat chicks and gutless beta pussies who both have a starfucker mentality to the corporate political whores who “run” the country. In other words it’s a company town full of weak-minded followers. That’s why it’s so much fun to fuck with the entitled young women who arrive in new waves every year for federal government welfare jobs. They’re all the same and there’s always someone new to play with, and when you’re done you simply dispose of them like used facial tissue.

Similarly, I’ve also nearly knocked down women on the street who refused to make any room for me while passing on crowded sidewalks. This is not because I am a big tough Billy Baddass who’s down for whatever. Nope. It’s just because I have decided that I will not bind myself by social rules for an outdated game invented for a world that no longer exists. Therefore I act accordingly and I accept all of the potential consequences: let the chips fall where they may.

Look, I will go half-way for anyone under damn near any circumstances and I will bend over backwards for a good faith request for help, but if some bitch presumes that she is entitled to 51% of my effort just because I have a set of balls and she doesn’t than all bets are off and she gets treated like a man disrespecting me by trying to run bullshit. And if any sucker white knight has a problem with that then I am ready to have a frank exchange of views if necessary.

My point is that given the cultural and economic situation in the US, I have totally abandoned all constraints on my behavior that I once allowed due to outdated and sexist notions like chivalry and some inherent male obligation to all women. Back when I studied shit that did not make me money I wrote a thesis on Southern honor codes, and modern American men have no idea what traditional chivalry was and how it operated in society.

There were responsibilities and obligations sure, but there were also rights. If you wanted to be a gentleman or you were a gentleman, you not only acted like a gentleman but you demanded to be treated as a gentleman. That’s why men dueled at the higher social levels, or engaged in no-hold-barred brawls at the lower social levels: it was all about enforcing public displays of respect. Modern men forget the reciprocal nature of notions of honor and chivalry, which helps the feminist brainwashing continue.

At any rate, totally abandoning this mental virus liberated my life in so many ways that I cannot begin to list them all. But more importantly it was the only rational response to a changed environment and I seriously doubt that I am the only man who’s made that calculation.

So if some occasion arises where I need to get on a metaphorical or real lifeboat and a white knight tries to keep me off in favor of some fatass sweaty scandalous hambeast that’s emblematic of what modern western woman has degenerated into, then he better bring some fucking fellow weak-minded friends because it’s going to be a fight. I might loose but I refuse to be treated disrespectfully or socially manipulated by women without exacting consequences. Period.

Back to work.

Jules- That letter is deeply upsetting and enraging. A man not wanting to continue his military career is understandable. He has to miss out on much of his life, including meaningful time with his children if he has them, in addition to the real risks that come with war. For this reason the decision to continue his military career must be left up to him with financial decisions made that can allow him a real choice in the matter despite the economic times.

This wife expresses a cavalier attitude not only about her husband’s feelings, but also his life as well. it’s no secret somebody can come home from war gravely injured, psychologically wounded, or in a body bag. This is NOT worth a vacation or re-enlistment bonuses nor is it worth pushing a husband to continue if he doesn’t want to. And who likes deployments as this wife seems to?! I’m more than happy to support my husband’s career and keep at this for as long as he likes, but deployments are lousy and hard as my husband is greatly missed in his absence, by both our daughter and myself. “Nothing to it”,that’s outrageous!

Furthermore, it’s disturbing this woman has never heard of retirement investing and other means to provide financial security for the future. Even if her husband did wish to stay in, relying on the military benefits is foolish and there are many programs that can help a military family make wise financial decisions that can help them build wealth. Of course they require a family to SAVE the bonuses and invest them, not go on vacations.

Good for Ms. Vicki for offering the advice she did. My thoughts had already wandered there before reading her response. And I say that as an army wife of six years.

Apologies for the rant. That letter is just….don’t even know the words.
