Given that historically (and, in some areas of the world, currently), women have frequently (if not mostly) been considered chattel, without rights and without recourse, I don’t think your objection stands up to close scrutiny. Even in my lifetime, and in that “bastion of equality”, the U.S.A., domestic violence that included battery to housewives has only recently become a matter for the courts. Previously, anything short of serious maiming or death were considered “family matters”, and police generally wouldn’t interfere,leaving women to further abuse after the officers had left the premises. Merely being annoyed that men are held in low esteem is hardly comparable. Solution? Act like you deserve better press.
During his sermon, a preacher asked his congregation a rhetorical question “Is anyone here perfect?” He was about to go on, when he noticed a man raising his hand from the last row. The preacher pauses and asks the man to stand. “So you think that you are perfect?” the preacher asked. The man replies, “Oh no!, I’m just standing in proxy for my wife’s first husband…”
Dowery. Parents do the marketing. Marriage seldom busts up, you can’t afford it. .Of course there’s the black widow problem in the husband buy areas, and the bluebeard in the other market.
A “domesticated husband” is usually one near death, anyway, and already taken by the wife that did the domesticating some 50+ years ago, which at that point, both spouses have opted to serve the life sentence.
ahahah! So true! 5 years later and we’re still working on what the word “laundry basket” means. augh! Probably not getting anywhere cause we’re still stuck on what “I’m not your mother” means.
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed that the new program began making unexpected changes to the accounting software; severely limiting access to wardrobe, flower and jewelry applications that operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. No mention of this phenomenon was included in the product brochure. In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installs many other valuable programs . . .
“If you turned that around you’d never hear the end of it.I am sick to death of male bashing.”. Oh, c’mon CK, it’s not that bad.How many years of “My wife’s so dumb…” jokes did women have to endure?And seeing the quality of some of the husbands out there, this cartoon is actually pretty tame.That being said, humor is a two-way street, and in fairness Wiley could do this same cartoon with wives and slightly different captions.
“Good grief. If we can’t laugh at ourselves, and at one another, in good spirit and without malice, then what fun can be left? If we must withhold all ribbing in the name of protecting everyone’s feelings, then we truly are a toothless society. We will reach what I call “the lowest common denominator of butthurt.”-George Takei
Awe, man…I’m really sorry I didn’t check in earlier today….This is one of Wiley’s best..And yeses, I’m single…I guess I’m going to wade through all the comments, so I don’t sound like a fool when I make mine. Later calculator…
AshburnStadium, I worked in the blue berry business, on the farms, for ten years…Talk to their wives…They’re all kinda liberal, if you ask me, especially when it comes to the environment.. but they will never admit it…Jus, sayin’
The comments today were pretty good. We’ve done better, but, hey. I’m just proud to hang around in cyber space with intelligent funny anonymous people like you guys…..

I like the one about comparing them to parking spaces. The good ones are always taken, and what’s left is usually handicapped.

Yeah, and I’ve looked for the ‘Logical’ label, to NO avail, in the ‘Wife’ market.
