Nagging could drive men to an early grave, study suggests

[smallandmighty]

Bull****. You don't see women roadsweepers or dustbin collectors simply because women don't want to do those jobs, seeing them as lowly-paid male jobs. Yet those same women still expect MEN to do WOMEN'S jobs at home. "Equality" is a one-way street, it seems.



They ALL nag, unless they are mute.



What for? They aren't capable of doing it all, just as we'll find out when David Cameron soon forces the British Armed Forces to go the same way as the second-rate American and Canadian Armed Forces by allowing women to fight on the front line. I feel uncomfortable at the thought of our country's defence depending partially on young women sometimes having to fight big, burly male enemies in hand-to-hand combat and, most likely, coming off second best.



Nope. We just need to teach PC, henpecked liberals like you how to wake up and see the real world.

I sure as to hell do not want to do those jobs...lol! Let a man do it. I like being a woman, and a feminine one at that, I like doors held open for me, and men to act like men. I have no problem sticking to traditions. I don't want to fix my own car, sure I could but why, there are men for that.

It's because women don't want to do jobs such as roadsweeping or emptying bins. When women strive for "equality in the workplace" it's very noticeable that's in never in ****ty jobs like those. They just leave those jobs for the men to do.

How come ALL men aren't doing these jobs if they're so great? Why do you think anyone would WANT to do this work. Do you think the men that are doing that job dreamed about it when they were 8yrsold?

I don't want to do those jobs. What I do expect is equal pay for the same job a man does that I choose to do. Just like men can choose do other work beside rubbage removal.

I wouldn't. They played a big role in beating the Nazis on the eastern front. They did as good and in some cases better than the men doing the same work there.

I have no problem sticking to traditions.

I do. I need more than "its tradition" to do or celebrate something. That word means nothing to me, and I actually find most traditions to be archaic and pointless. Not something Id want to put effort into maintaining at all.

It was found that people who had reported frequent worries and demands from a partner of had a 50-100 per cent increased mortality risk, while those who experienced regular conflicts within any type of relationship had a two to three times increased mortality risk.

And the odd time it results in the perpetrator being driven to a very early grave! -

What makes you think that would come as bad news to somebody who see themselves being perfect in an imperfect world? Now when you run into one you can nag him about making subtle attempts at suicide, thereby allowing the ones it bothers (you in this case) to get to the grave first.

What do you know about the 'Peter Principle'? (nothing to do with sex)

Apparently cleaning and nursing, both woman-dominated fields, aren't "sh*tty work."

beside rubbage removal.

Would that be a cross between rubbish and garbage? -

Lol totally didn't even realize I'd combined the 2 words.

What, for standing up to any women who dares nag me? No, mate. It's called sticking up for myself and not letting some woman nag me to an early grave just because she's too bone idle to do the women's jobs at home. What do you want me to do? Just stand there and allow a woman to boss me about and place me under her heal like - I'm gathering from the evidence on this thread - the average henpecked Canadian man would?

As usual you are showing your lack of understanding and intelligence. My woman does not nag me one bit. If something needs doing and she hasn't the time she tells me it needs doing and I either get to it or don't. No arguments, no reminders. If I don't have time then she will get to it when she has time. It is called being equal. Neither of us 'nag' the other. Of course I am quite secure in my manhood unlike you who has this need to have women 'in their place'. Your attitude and demeanor are obvious displays of your lack of self-esteem and feelings of inferiority to the females of our species.

You should try it yourself - stick up for yourself and defend your manhood and don't let a woman nag you. You'll live longer, according to that article. Grow some cojones, as you say over there.

See response above...

How many female roadsweepers or dustbin collectors do you see? The fact is, almost certainly, none. That's because, despite banging on about "equality" and "not letting the men have all the jobs", women still find it below themselves to do those traditional male jobs like sweeping roads and epmtying people's bins, yet they still expect men to do traditional women's jobs in the home. No. I'm afraid "equality" in the workplace only applies in well-paid jobs company CEOs, bankers or lawyers. When it comes to sweeping the streets or emptying people's dustbins, women just don't want to know.

Actually one of the people on the garbage collection truck in my neighborhood is a woman. We also have 2 of the 4 grader operators for snow removal in town who are women and I know of 3 or 4 who operate excavators not to mention the numerous women I encounter driving trucks in the oil patch. You are so obviously intimidated by women and I can only hope you get some professional help.

No, they aren't. They are usually men of all ages. My window cleaner is about 60. And I only have to pay him £1 each time.

He probably deserves 10 pounds just because it's you. I bet you don't even tip the old gaffer around the holidays.

Surely you don't think a man who has won a couple of World Wars single handedly should have to tip the hired help!

Really though. Used to be tradition for women to hold their tongues while the men were talking, even kept them outside of ministry work. Maybe it's due to the generational differences, but none of my cohorts would call it 'manly' to insist on such stupid things. In fact it's the opposite of manly.

It's kinda fun actually. But then I'm still new here.

Can you pick out all the ones that have been here too long?

And the other 99% of their day was spent listening to what they were going to be saying during those few minutes of fame. If you don't believe me go and insult any Grandmother at any family gathering (even your own) and come back and give us a detailed report of how the rest of that day went, once you are recovered that is.

If God was to punish the Christians who didn't know the identity of the Beloved Disciple correctly how many would be 'pained'.

The Peter Principle states that every person has an optimal position in society, pass that point and gain more power or responsibility and you make mistakes, big mistakes and many mistakes if you are at that level for a long time.

Good for you. Sad, but good for you. Traditions are character, without them you have no character.

Yeah, I tend to agree, one of the most hackneyed excuses has to be "we've always done it that way"

doing something because it has always been done a certain way is not reason enough to maintain it...doing something a certain way because it works best is another thing...when done this way things evolve to suit what is best...it is logical to do the latter

Top of the morning to you, Sal. Love you!

Women didn't fight on the front. It's only recently that Canada and America allowed it and, unwisely, Britain is about to do the same.

Just as there shouldn't be women firemen, there also shouldn't be women frontline soldiers.

Of course, my commensense views will be defeated by Political Correctness as always.

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

I disagree. Doing the right thing regardless of 'its been done this way before' shows character.

It isn't about being PC. It is about ability. Women in the fire department have to meet the same standards as the men. The army does not give a break to women on physical standards for combat either. The only reason for women not to hold ANY job or position is your own inferiority complex and chauvinistic views.
