LOL, [bleep], is that your true story? Wow. what an animal. So he peed AFTER he showers not before so it can wash off his pee. Damn. I wonder what the OP says about this. I would guess he will applaud this jerk. OP clearly is a chauvinist and misognynist like this pee guy.

And what makes you think women want to find a man to stay with her. Don’t you know that all we want to do is use you and then dump you and take all your money? We have all the courts rigged so we can get away with this and live lives of luxury on your dime. You’re doomed. Doooomed!

At first, First Man didn't really care, but then he got lonely for her company, and asked the Creator to slow her down so he could catch up to her. The creator started putting berries in her path, which she noticed, but didn't accomplish the goal of slowing her down, until he put the strawberry growing in her path.

It was a pretty berry, and when she tasted it, it was sweet and juicy. It stopped her and allowed First Man to catch up to her. She offers him some of the berries, and he enjoys them too. From that moment forward, the strawberry became a symbol to remind us to be good to one another.


It's not about one catering to the other, it's about being good to one another. When it comes to being good to one another, women often get the crappy end of the stick. You can debate that if you want, but if you look at domestic violence statistics, you will see that that is not a false assessment.

As far as being a word meaning 'female dog', Ive heard it a lot. I think, much like a man being called a dog, its something people say without really considering what it truly means. It sounds good to them, and that's about as far as the thought process takes them.
There are parallels of Adam, Lilith, and Eve in that story.... from Jewish Tradition. I always assumed the notion of "Happy wife, Happy life" and similar originated from that love triangle. Interesting enough, there was an all out character assassination of Lilith (Adam's equal) depicting her as evil and demonic.... for the most part omitted from the Bible. Meanwhile Eve (created from Adam's rib) remains as "Adam's first wife" in the bible. Yet it is Eve that yields to temptation of the forbidden fruit.

I actually like your story better.

If you're consistently witnessing behavior that you're not comfortable with, you need to find a new environment. Your definition of bossy and other's definition of bossy opens up a whole bunch of "Whys." If it's bugging you find new people to hang out with.

I personally have never witnessed this, so I can't speak on it.

Women and children first! Remember it! You are expected to DIE providing and protecting. Stop complaining about her being bossy, life isn't fair. Man up!

You will find *******s always excuse their own behavior. They also excuse and make excuses for other *******s to avoid persecution by association.
*******s also come in many flavors. Polite, rude, arrogant, happy, sad etc etc

Just remember that ******* are not determined by how nice they can be, it’s their over all actions that define them.

Oh good lord. If anyone has to be bossy to anyone, then the relationship is probably train-wreck city. If you, OP, have surrounded yourself with overdramatic, overbearing, jerky humans of any gender, you maybe could choose better company.

But I will tell ya something. Some guys LIKE a "bossy" wife. Because they don't want to have to recognize that something needs done, and do it themselves like a responsible person, they want to just sit around entertaining themselves, and if it's really got to be done, then it's on her to ask for it. And then he can either get angry and say she's a nag, or else do the job so poorly, that he conditions her to stop asking him for anything. Before long, he gets to be a lazy slob and she does all the work of the household, on top of the full time job she also has to hold and probably most of the "bossy" work of being a parent, too! Men who complain about the wife being "bossy" are usually not acting like responsible partners, in most relationships I have seen.

Remember that a "boss" role means being ultimately responsible for everything getting done. And then you can either delegate, or do it yourself. If you get enough pushback for trying to delegate, you find yourself doing most of the work, because the other person doesn't actually give a damn if it gets done or not.

It doesn't matter much which partner is assuming which role, one not acting like a responsible adult and one acting "bossy"...it's indication that the relationship is not healthy. Maybe it ends, maybe it drags on unhappily.

And then there is the question of partners trying to demand that the other does NOT do things that make them happy. If the activity does no harm and there are no sensible objections to be made besides "I don't want you to" then that's where controlling behavior is, no matter the gender. A wife who expects her husband to get rid of his possessions that he treasures because she doesn't like them in HER home, is being unreasonable. A husband who can't handle his wife giving time and attention to a visiting relative or a best friend, because he hates when her attention is given to literally anyone but him, is being unreasonable.

Rational, mature adults who have experience in relationships, can tell what is healthy and what isn't. It amazes me how some of this fairly obvious Humaning 101 stuff is such a terrifying mystery to some people here.

I wouldn't let a man or woman pull that bossy stuff on me.

It would get annoying and tiresome.

Well, too, the whole "If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best" mentality...some guys will apparently put up with that, if they want the woman bad enough. That's on them, no one is holding a gun to their heads.

Seems to me, in situations where people pick partners who make them unhappy, guys are being shortsighted (not looking deeper than appearances "She's hot, what could go wrong?") and women have picker problems or let things escalate too fast, fail to heed red flags...usually going against our own better judgment, or advice from more experienced women, if we're just too young to know better. Guys let the little head do the thinking, women wear the rose tinted glasses. Anyone could wind up with a jerk. No one deserves to live like that, though...unless they choose it for whatever reasons of their own.

Gonna start defaulting to "is it my/your business?" now. Seems as good an answer as any. OP, are YOU with a bossy woman? If not, then why do you care what other people are doing in your relationships?

If it's because you want to extrapolate some cases to mean all/most cases, then that's silly, but you can be silly if you like. I mean, we women aren't clones, you know?
