5 Benefits Of Having A Smart And Successful Husband
1. A Smart, Successful Husband Helps Your Ego
You bet your ass that my future husband will be a success in whatever he does and you can guarantee I’m going to be happy for him. Hell, I’ll even brag about it. Your husband did some sort of yoga in a 100 degree room today? Mine saved lives. Your husband got his nails done? So did mine, in between landing major accounts. Your husband posted the hundredth picture of your dog on Facebook? Mine posted an article he wrote and it went viral. Your husband is there for his looks? Mine’s there for his brain and he’s better looking on top of it.
2. A Smart, Successful Husband Helps Your Career
Dumb arm candy might impress your boss with his tight jeans, but smart arm candy will impress your boss and more importantly, her husband. There are always guys who you can show off at events and dinners, but if a guy can’t show you off as well through his looks AND his impeccable conversation skills you’re not going to get that invite from the boss’s husband to her house for dinner, which gets you into the boss’s social circle, which gets you that promotion to the big leagues. Not to mention that if you’re in any sort of business, your husband's company, coworkers, boss, PhD professor, and everyone in his social circle is a potential personal or business relationship. Married life is rough enough without the ability for your husband to throw great parties and cookouts that couples actually want to come to.
Etc.

Re: Return to Gender 101
But what if it's a gay couple? Who cooks? Who takes care of the party? Who stays well read. Both of the guys will know how to dress to the T and talk about show tunes. Both of the girls will wear suitpants?
All these extra variables make it confusing.

This sentence just slays me. Why the hell is throwing great parties an essential element of marriage? I mean, I do and can entertain, but as we've discussed aplenty in the introvert thread, I would kick to the curb anyone who tried to require it of me. It reads to me as "married life sucks when you don't have other people around to distract you from your spouse". It sounds like the ultimate statement of extroversion, to which I say

More like "life sucks when your personality is so repellent that you require some imaginary hypothetical spouse that you somehow landed to recruit and entertain friends on your behalf."

Re: Return to Gender 101
If we're going to have imaginary spouses, why stop with ones that throw great parties? Why not have one's hypothetical best match also be about to shoot fire from their eyes and turn junk mail into solid gold? Also, ESP for use in finding a missing sock.

Re: Return to Gender 101
There's a movement to stop revenge porn growing. California has laws against it and it would be great to see it in all 50 states and beyond. One of the women behind the movement in Scotland makes an excellent case for it in the New Statesmen. Her final sentences work in an even broader context and really deserve to be heard widely.

Re: Return to Gender 101
The majority of marketing is an abusive relationship with the consumer that tears them down, then pretends to be their friend offering an expensive solution to a problem they didn't actually have until 30 seconds ago.
Oh and to top that all off, most "women centric" industries absolutely hate women and see them as props and dollar signs. Take the fashion industry, it hates, hates, hates, women!
