#7, are they trying to make “taming of the shrew” a reality instead of a play!? What next? “Take away her sleep until she can’t take it anymore”

I agree; that askmen list is complete bullshit. Kelsey at Bitch also blogged about it a bit ago:

When dishing up meals for the two of you, try giving her smaller-than-usual amounts. By making her ask for more food, you might succeed in shaming her into an acknowledgment of her recent weight gain, and hopefully to instigate a conversation about what she’s going to do about it. If you feel as though you’re starving yourself in the process, remember you can always go back for more when she’s not looking.

This shit particularly pisses me off. The MRA love to claim that men are subject to body discipline and fail to point out that it is women that must largely deal with it. Notice how he shows no concern about what over stuffing himself will lead to? His fuckablility is not an issue. He need not worry whether or not his girlfriend finds him attractive. Just fat shaming, women hating, male privilege shit.

“…she’ll never forgive you for pointing it out so bluntly…”

Yeah, because in this scenario, it’s the man who’s the victim. Silly me. We women are such guilt-tripping bitches, always hating on the poor well-intentioned menfolks. I’m sure they’re just worried about out health, or something.

How to be a asshole and get dumped in ten simple steps. That’s the title, right?

Sadly, I’ve known douchebags who do shit like this. A friend dated a douche that would negatively compare her to allegedly “hotter” friends of hers.

Oh my God, Sarah, I can’t believe you left out #4. This one HORRIFIED me.

No.4 – Ask her to wear an old dress

Plan a romantic night out for the two of you and insist that she wears something from when you first got together; particularly something that you know doesn’t fit her anymore. This way she’ll have to admit to you that she’s put on too much weight and can no longer get into many of her old clothes. Follow it up by telling her how good she looked in those days, and maybe she’ll make it her mission to get back to that size.

@Bluebears that is sooo true, Our perception of beaches now adays is so wierd. Go back and watch JAWS again and take a look at the people on those beaches. I don’t think a movie with that kind of footage of real people would ever make it out of hollywood now.

The second I saw this article I knew that the knives would (and should!) be out, ready to tear this to shreds. Well done, all of you!
