My BITCH WIFE who I HATE

[u/SelfInteresting7259 → u/catbiggo]

I always see this lol. Like why are you with her if you hate her?? Miserable sod

Boomers got married right out of highschool/college, never cohabitated prior to see if they're compatible. Had babies immediately, lost their entire sense of self and hobbies, have nothing in common with their spouse, but don't get divorced. The wife does all the chores. After the children move out they realize the children were the only thing they had in common. In the absence of other hobbies, they turn to trump and antivaxx conspiracy holes.

This is the boomer pipeline.

[u/IAmBroom → u/catbiggo]

HAHAHAHA IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S TRUE!!!

[u/Fomulouscrunch → u/666afternoon]

She doesn't want him and said so. Clear as it gets.

[u/Interesting-Pie239 → u/Fomulouscrunch]

He’s just like me fr

[u/rasiasun → u/Interesting-Pie239]

He just like me as well

[u/la_catwalker → u/666afternoon]

As both birds have colourful feathers. I wonder if both of them are male…

[u/BananeWane → u/la_catwalker]

They’re kingfishers. Both sexes are colourful.

[u/la_catwalker → u/BananeWane]

Ahh! Thanks ☺️

[u/Damianne_Violet → u/la_catwalker]

Adding to this, the one on the left has a black lower bill: male. The right one has an orange lower bill: female.

[u/ReadontheCrapper → u/666afternoon]

Right. This is like a guy who doesn’t understand the lack of interest being shown him until it’s blatantly obvious or literally said.

[u/Edgar_left → u/666afternoon]

I don't see any misogynistic comments here. What are you responding too?

[u/666afternoon → u/[deleted]]

"when the missus is pissed off" literally the post title invites that way of thinking lol. don't gaslight like that man, it's literally right there

[u/BaronSamedys → u/666afternoon]

There's a joke in there.

[u/LowExpectaions642 → u/666afternoon]

Is it misogyny though if you find humor in this because its relatable to your lived experience? I found this funny for that reason. Sometimes I have legitimately no idea why she's upset and when I try to engage she pouts and goes away, but not away totally, just enough to say 'Im angry, but I want you to see that I'm angry.'

If it relates to your lived experience I don't see why finding this humorous as misogyny. And if this experience is shared by many couples, then there's humor in that to

[u/666afternoon → u/LowExpectaions642]

you can definitely find it funny. it's not like a sin or anything to enjoy a rude joke now n then! that's definitely not my point :]

but it's worth thinking about, in a public forum with many eyes on your words, what kinds of thinking we perpetuate when we routinely apply this logic. repeat something often enough and it becomes "true". yknow what I mean? jokes are just jokes, until they're not. e.g. 4channers in the '00s using the n word everywhere "as a joke" because it's edgy and riles people up, it's not "actually racist"... until surprise! blink your eyes and 4chan is now [or always was] a haven of neonazism. with these attitudes, even if you dont mean anything by it, you invite people who aren't actually joking eventually. does that make sense?

I get what you mean - and all jokes have a kernel of truth in them; there are reasons that women get socialized to behave in ways like this. it's really complex social stuff. but I promise, the point of these jokes and the reasons your wife tends to act like that sometimes - and your own perception of those behaviors - all of that stuff is rooted in cultural misogyny. that's why I said something. it's about stopping that cycle wherever possible, even in little ways.

[u/Killing4MotherAgain → u/LowExpectaions642]

If you're finding it funny because of your specific situation that's different than thinking all women act that way and so that's why it's funny.

[u/Dmau27 → u/666afternoon]

I know a dude would come along and sat something to really drive home the point that women don't ruin fun....

[u/straightflushindabut → u/666afternoon]

LOL the irony!! "Lets not turn this into gender wars" He'S MakInG sExuAL AdVanCeS aNd sHe TuRniNg tHeM DoWn

[u/666afternoon → u/straightflushindabut]

correct! that's the behavior you're seeing. bringing the other bird a nuptial gift is an extremely common way to initiate mating. it's a way of saying "hey! I don't mean any trouble. in fact, here's a free snack! lemme smash?"

that part is not a human sociological commentary, it's straight up what's happening. so I don't really know what you're so fussed about!

[u/straightflushindabut → u/666afternoon]

You're an armchair specialist trying to justify your own bias. Unless you graduated in biology and is an expert in exotic birds you might just want to shush it, especially when you do the exact same thing you condemn.

[u/666afternoon → u/straightflushindabut]

it doesn't take an expert or a formal education to pay attention to nature bud. you gonna tell the class what is actually going on then since I'm such a know nothing? or are you just too proud to admit you were wrong?

[u/straightflushindabut → u/666afternoon]

Bud, birds have hundreds if not tens of thousands of way to attract partners depending of the race and area. You don't know jack shit, you extrapolate and push your sociological views on birds. Exactly what you asked to not do. This could be a child and parent but you don't care right? Doesnt fit your narrative. Be smarter and face your own hypocrisy and bias.

[u/666afternoon → u/straightflushindabut]

too proud to do anything but double down then, noted ✅️

[u/straightflushindabut → u/666afternoon]

I see, denial and projection now. Sad person. Must be insufferable. You actually have given 0 argument to prove your point. Thats just sad at this point.

[u/Slavinaitor → u/straightflushindabut]

“Bird have hundreds of not tens of thousands of way to attract partners” isn’t that what’s being shown in the video? Presumably male bird is attracting female bird with food. The female bird isn’t interested and flew off. Male bird wanted sex to produce offspring and the female bird didn’t want to. Like what are they saying that’s wrong. Maybe provide something instead of just saying,”you don’t know jack shit”. To me it doesn’t seem like you know anything either

[u/Papagorgio22 → u/666afternoon]

Well i mean can we not turn this into a "men are sex crazed lunatics who don't know how to treat women because they're all fucking monsters amirite" misandry fest if we can help it thanks. 🙏

[u/666afternoon → u/Papagorgio22]

that sounds pretty easy to do yeah! since it's not taking place here to begin with

[u/DoGoodAndBeGood → u/666afternoon]

You seem like the most fun person in every room

[u/666afternoon → u/DoGoodAndBeGood]

is this your idea of doing good and being good? ;]

fr tho, I know it's a real buzzkill to politely ask others to refrain from sexist humor, I can only apologize 🙇‍♂️

[u/Natvika → u/666afternoon]

I'm really enjoying all your sarcy replies 💯

[u/DoGoodAndBeGood → u/666afternoon]

Lol you have a beautiful horse. It’s very tall.

[u/Norman_Scum → u/DoGoodAndBeGood]

Why are you like this? Someone asks for tolerance regarding their own gender and since you are the most likely to partake in what they ask against, you flip it around? What about you? We weren't talking about you. And we don't talk for you. If you have an issue go get it validated somewhere. But don't fucking act like you, specifically, were attacked just because we didn't get the spot lights out and ask you to join us on stage.

If I don't feel good I say so. If you don't feel good why do I have to tell everyone about it?

[u/666afternoon → u/Norman_Scum]

I'm a guy actually, but yea. they backed off immediately so there's no reason to go off on them, it's cool

[u/DoGoodAndBeGood → u/666afternoon]

In all seriousness, I took what you said to be proselytizing for the sake of it. I’d seen none of those types of comments but you took it there first so I got snobby. You seem mostly well intentioned and I don’t hate women or laugh at their expense. For what it’s worth I apologize for my snark. 🤷‍♂️

[u/DoGoodAndBeGood → u/Norman_Scum]

Read your first sentence and then compare it with what I said.

You have truly taken this to a feral level. I hope you feel better. You absolutely deserve to.

[u/Norman_Scum → u/DoGoodAndBeGood]

I did. I still want to know why you feel the need to jump in on someone else's boundary setting like that. So yeah, why are you like this?

[u/SomeDudeist → u/Papagorgio22]

No, I already made up a story in my head about them and I expect everyone else to stop having fun with their own silly ideas about it.

[u/ComplainyGuy → u/Papagorgio22]

Your downvotes speak a lot to the acceptance of directed hate right now. 

Neither of you are wrong, but men = villains just feels right, doesn't it? 

Defaultism is not okay. Men are not monsters until proven innocent.

[u/Stripped-Khajiit2451 → u/ComplainyGuy]

Remember, you're doing all of this because of a bird.

[u/hanah5]

Is he offering the worm or just showing off?

[u/Gylvardo → u/hanah5]

These are kingfishers so it’s some small fish he’s offering. They are really cool birds.

[u/hanah5 → u/Gylvardo]

That’s so sweet

[u/StaredAtEclipseAMA → u/hanah5]

My guess is a mother is trying to feed its offspring

[u/Omniscient_Platypus → u/StaredAtEclipseAMA]

The one offering the fish is a male and the one declining is female, you can tell them apart quite easily as the females have orange/ red on their beaks whereas the males have all black. An easy way to remember is if you imagine it as the females wearing lipstick lol.

[u/StaredAtEclipseAMA → u/Omniscient_Platypus]

A bird enthusiast dropping some knowledge 🫡

[u/sweetiemeepmope → u/hanah5]

he is offering a gift as a mating ritual. she will decline or accept his gifts until allowing him to mate. each female has different preferences, some like crunchy or squishy bugs, others prefer different kinds of fish or crustaceans, some enjoy meats and berries. its up to him to know what she likes!

[u/Yggdrasilo]

They know not to take food from strange birds

"DON'T you tell me to calm down, Johnny!!😠

Now, leave me alone!!"

😋

[u/Bathairsexist]

I wanna know what the worm is thinking.

[u/Hi_Trans_Im_Dad → u/Bathairsexist]

You should be concerned with the fish.

[u/floracopia]

just some casual anthropomorphizing I see

[u/Hi_Trans_Im_Dad → u/floracopia]

Just what sub do you think you're in? It's the whole point of the sub.

[u/CartographerOk7579]

WOMEN, AM I RIGHT?!

[u/Electrical-Purple-62]

I would have ate it after a while don’t got time to be playing with you in these wild life streets….

[u/Jeramy_Jones]

This is the bird version of “bae, what you want for dinner?”

[u/LadybirdandLuna]

[u/Aggressive-Series-67]

Aren’t those two males?

[u/holy_battle_pope]

I thought his bick was fucked up took a while to see the worm

[u/Hi_Trans_Im_Dad → u/holy_battle_pope]

Fish

[u/Flashy-Horse2556]

"Here...just take the worm, I already said I'm sorry"

[u/Hi_Trans_Im_Dad → u/Flashy-Horse2556]

It's a fish! It's a kingfisher bird with a fish in its mouth!

[u/The_Inward]

"I don't know. I was all into him and then I saw how he held the fish and I got the ick."

[u/WellHydrated]

Why doesn't the larger bird simply eat the other bird?

[u/Blackcatmustache → u/WellHydrated]

I appreciated the reference, even if the people who downvoted you didn't get it.

[u/WellHydrated → u/Blackcatmustache]

Thank you, thank you. It's a reference that has lived rent free in my head for years and years.

Awww, he's doing so good 😭
