Whining pinkos

When it comes to something like housework, Democrats are much more likely to complain that the division of work in their home “is unfair to me” than Republicans. In fact, they are five times as likely to whine about it. Another study in The Journal of Applied Psychology found that feminist women do less housework than traditional women — but complain more about it.

Wendy Kaminer understood this perfectly when she wrote in The Atlantic Monthly: “Personally, I reserve the right to complain and even whine about whatever injustices are visited upon me — bad haircuts, bad boyfriends, and bad reviews. I have always believed in complaining — in one view, that makes me a liberal.” Hmmm.... So how come I complain all the time? We gotta sort this out.

Ideally, one should be a pinko-liberal, with a dyed-in-wool Republican wife. Then one can stay comfortably in the armchair, complain about the injustice of it all, while having all one's needs catered to. Of course, this would be bad for the arteries, but who cares?

Yeah, but it's worth it. Feminist women will do just about anything in bed that pops into your imagination. Damn Baptists need Johnny Mathis CDs just to take their pants down.
