"Wanted: Single White Mommy "
I like this, I think this writer has a fun style, pretty interesting topic too.

Wanted: Single White Mommy
by E.A. Hanks

Michael Noer is the latest member of a growing chorus of concerned citizens watching out for that most beleaguered figure: the under achieving, white, heterosexual man. With his Forbes piece, “Don’t Marry a Career Woman” Noer joins the ranks of protector John Tierney of the New York Times, who has bemoaned the plight of men in the classrooms and playing fields across this pansy-ass country.

All this hand wringing about men has this woman wondering: could I possibly care any less? Answer: no.

Noer has advised the brotherhood, “Whatever you do, don’t marry a woman with a career.” His reasoning, aimed at protecting his brethren from unhappy marriages, rests on the cold hard facts that career women are “more likely to get divorced, more likely to cheat, less likely to have children, and if they do have kids, they are more likely to be unhappy about it.” Noer even points out that women, “even women with a ‘feminist’ outlook – are happier when their husband is the primary bread winner.” Thanks for looking out for us “feminists,” ........

1. The poor guy
I agree with your assessment of him looking for mommy. He sounds like a lazy republican. Maybe he should grow himself some balls.:rofl:

I'm too fucking lazy to do anything for myself. And too broke to hire a housekeeper.

4. How nice
Make sure the woman is dependent on the man, so if things go south, his livelihood is intact and she is unable to provide for herself. :eyes:

5. What's wrong with marrying a career woman?
If there's time to be a couple at some point, that's all that matters.

It's called "working things out".

6. When your job gets outsourced,
you've been out of work for 6 months and the mortgage needs to be paid, food put in your kids bellies, etc., you will be VERY happy to have married a career woman who earns a living wage.

Oh, wait. This couldn't possibly happen to a good Christian Conservative Republican man? Don't bet your life on it, speaking from experience.
