it’s almost too easy… but, well, just in case we have a case of curable ignorance – perhaps you need to choose a different decade to think of as the golden age of “women servicing cock” that you dream of. In the 40s, 19 million women worked outside the home, about half of all women. That doesn’t count women who were the sole operators of their family farms. You might recall we had this war on? That kept a lot of men busy getting their ass shot off in places like Peleliu and Okinawa. 2 million women worked in defense industries alone. I heard Henry Kaiser was a giant feminazi. ---

> [@Big\_Daddy\_D](#): > > This is the problem we face in society today, We don’t understand women, most women and thier sexist feminazis brigade do not know thier place in this world. Their seems to be alot of militant feminists who are continually fighting for ''equal rights for women", wheras in my opinion in the western world you should have none, the man is the keeper and bread winner of the household. > > In the good old days before this stupid equal right’s bullshit women were rightly taught to pretend to be stupid when talking to men, because they knew there place in society. Then in the 1970’s women stopped the fake behavior and began talking normally to men. Now we have to put up with this shocking and upsetting antisocial behaviour from women, they should be ashamed of themselfs. > > This is a problem they caused, a woman’s job is to make her man happy, look after the kids, keep the house clean and keep her mouth shut. But the stupid feminazis fucked all that up. Intelligent and assertive women do not need to talk about how “intelligent and assertive” they are, they need to keep thier mouths shut. > > They took everything sacred from us, who the fuck gave them the right to drive cars on our roads, take our jobs and vote? I fucking didn’t, I applaud muslim countries because thier women know thier place in society and if they stray away from it they meet Mr Stone or Mr Noose. > > I say bring back the good old 1940’s when everyone new thier place. And who gave you the right to own a computer, log on to the internet, and post this type of crap? I sure didn’t. I applaud King Wladyslaw of Poland because he returned those ignorant peasants to serfdom. Get back to your hoe and shovel! ---

I hear you, BDD. I tan my woman’s hide if she even thinks about getting uppity with me, and she’s happier that way, knowing her place in the household and all. The bonus is that my sons learn how to treat women by watching me. They won’t be wandering around, trying to figure out women; they’ll already know what they’re for. ---

Wait, so I thought that the OP said it was _women_ who were supposed to act stupid? And yet the username implies that the OP is male. Now _I’m_ confused, too. ---

Ah, today’s youth. Such a lack of historical perspective. Why, everybody knows that the start of the slippery slope leading to the feminazi movement, was when they decided that women had souls. ---

Exactly how it should brethren:), people are much happier when they know their place. They don’t have to spend all their tim trying to figure out who or what they are, I remember when a son followed his father into the same job, bring these days back. ---

That’s the problem - he wants to get back to his hoe but he can’t find one, since real women actually have brains and stuff.

So, what you’re saying is that in the 1940s a son would follow his mother into the profession of drill press operator, since he dad got killed in the war? What you’re saying is, unmarked graves are the best place for men? Sorry we don’t tolerate that type of misandry on this board.
