19 Glorious Reasons Women Should Have Dinner Prepared and on the Table
1. When a woman commits to cooking dinner, she joins a worldwide sisterhood of womanly courage.
Many Americans don’t associate courage with preparing dinner. Clearly, this is a contrived shame of the feminist agenda. Far too many liberals view preparing supper as a perfunctory duty of wifely servitude rather than a beautiful act of faithful submission.
The United States is facing a crisis when it comes to the religious persecution of women with regards to having dinner on the table for her family. Feminists will treat cooking supper as an affront. Atheists will command her to embrace a more secular in approach, urging her to buy a Heavenly Ham instead of baking one on her own. The internet will feign a broken logic, calling her to ‘fix it’ rather than tend the needs of a hungry man. Women receive these negative messages every day. The most destructive forms of negative “dinner fixing feedback” seem to come from social media.
"A husband can provide extra money for that new apron or a salon appointment. All your facebook friends secretly hate you."
2. Your Facebook and Mommy-blog friends don’t pick out your nursing home.
Studies show that many people on the internet aren’t very nice. When a woman spends all her sunshine on the internet, trying to forward funny pictures of cats or composing the ten thousandth blog entry on the fashions of Mad Men, she begins to neglect her true self. She becomes filled with the vain self-importance of a virtual world.
The same can be said for facebook friends and mommy-blog friends. These enablers seek to replace the spiritual leadership of God and scripture in our lives. They call a woman away from her true calling – a delicious meal prepared for the family.
Women need to use critical thinking when feeling the alluring pull from facebook and social web friends. Will they only pretend to share a no fail recipe for Rumaki and then provide some too salty instructional disaster so you look like a fool in front of the Southern Garden Ladies Council? The truth is, the internet is full of non-friends and non-family. It is wise to value face to face relationships more heavily than the online friend. A husband can provide extra money for that new apron or a salon appointment. All your facebook friends secretly hate you.
3. He’s the father of your children, for pity’s sake.
Even if a wife hasn’t been blessed with children yet, she must take care of her husband to ensure the strength of his seed. It’s all about investing in the future. One of the best ways to do this is to prepare delicious meals and have them ready and waiting when he returns home from work.
Men that rely on cheese puffs and the horrors of potted meats or cereal as an evening meal may not produce the best or strongest swimming sperm for a bright eyed bundle of joy. Happy productive children, free of academic and behavioral issues, have good mothers that ensure meals are timely and nutritious. It all starts with feeding the father properly. So much of the family’s success depends on a woman’s due diligence at mealtime.
Beautiful candles bring the spirit of fellowship to any table.
4. Preparing meals is a chance to bring out a woman’s inner artist.
Sure a homemaker might use her creative energies to iron pillowcases into decorative origami cranes, but home keeping offers little in the way of artistic license. Cooking and meal preparation is a time to let that inner Michelangelo out for a run.
Smart moms will bring faith to life by deftly cutting out a Noah’s ark from a won ton noodle (or puff pastry) and adding animal shaped crackers to chicken soup.
Adding a face to meats is a fun way to show kids that not all food grows on trees and seems to desensitize them to the vegetarian threat later in life.
One favorite presentation is to make banana “advent candles” leading up to Christmas. We served these to the delight of some non-Christians. Oh how they laughed with true joy. As disciples we need to use all our talents to bring the good news to heathen savages.
Men that cook their own dinner can develop deformities. Some believe these are homosexual signs since they rarely occur on middle-aged married men that are served dinner.
It happens in even the most stable households. Sometimes a man might need to prepare a sandwich or cheese and crackers as a light snack. While between meal needs are usually due to strenuous activities and exertions, these are the trials that test a marriage.
Some men are very accomplished cooks. As with all sin, the glamorous notion of a man toiling over a stove is not the whole story. A man that can prepare his own meals will not be satisfied with those a dutiful wife prepares. Comparisons will be made; options weighed and measured. He might prefer his fancy French onion soup over her canned soup chipped beef on toast points. His eyes might stare through her begrudgingly as she ladles lime Jell-O with pineapple rings and cottage cheese on a lettuce leaf. She might begin to doubt herself, her choices. He might yearn for spicy foods like a broiled South American lamb chop wearing a man-thong sausage sack. These things are unknown to her.
Allowing your man to cook his own meals is to season the marital sauce with tears, Ladies. Don’t do it. Also, grilling is not really cooking, so that is okay with proper supervision.
"Also, grilling is not really cooking, so that is okay with proper supervision." Keep a watchful eye on those backyard grill masters! A husband that likes to grill can slip into daydreaming fugue states - the first sign of homosexual conversion.
Of course some husbands go by the name Hank, but a fair number have the name Jesus and even Abraham. The point is a man feels important when he walks into his castle and is greeted with a cold beverage and the sultry aroma of a great meal. Happy is the man that can count a fine cooking wife as a blessing.
7. He is more likely to fall asleep, sometimes called a ‘food coma’, on a full stomach. This leaves the television remote available for unhindered viewing of Dancing with the Stars or a QVC Special.
While this should never be the primary reason for preparing a hearty meal, a secondary benefit of preparing a delicious dinner of 30% brown meats, 50% white or cheesy foods and 20% colored vegetables is the ‘food coma’. When the male physical form is loaded down with great home cooking, the muscles of the body relax and relish the gift it has received. Appetite is sated as demand signals from the brain’s pleasure centers are deadened and become quiet.
Cranial scans performed in important universities show that the brain waves in the well fed husband are similar to those in a sleepy baby. For women interested in single subject behavioral research models, try hugging the husband and gently patting his back after a hearty meal and before he retires in front of the television. Record the time it takes for him to nod off as well as noting qualitative observations like droopy eyes, snoring and nasal whistles. Repeat the experiment without the patting and hug and compare readings. 98% of women will find that he will begin sleep cycles more easily with the hug and pat. The 2% that find it doesn’t work may be married to a latently gay man. Call a doctor for further testing.
"Like pets, children and husbands with full bellies are less likely to seek mischief or wander off."
8. Like pets, children and husbands with full bellies are less likely to seek mischief or wander off.
Some behaviorists suggest that whoring husbands and tattooed gothic children both suffer from mealtime neglect and nutritional stagnation. Relying on fast foods due to a ‘working mom’ or one of those ‘I’m-going-back-to-get-my-degree’ midlife crises mothers, these poor little lost souls seek adventure and mischief in the arms of danger.
Mealtime provides a stable transition from the day’s activities and a winding down period for busy families. When the transition signal is absent, children and husbands experience whipsawed confusion. They may wander aimlessly and become another crime statistic. Children without stable mealtimes in the home are more likely to over value peer approval, prostitute their bodies and do poorly on high stakes testing. Men are more likely to whore about, finding comfort in the arms of ham-and-cheese harlots.
If a woman must take that job as a part time grocery cashier for the family finances, she would be wise to schedule and maintain mealtimes as a priority. This is why the Lord provided us with crockpots and slow cookers.
9. Watching him eat is an appetite suppressant.
Some women revile cooking because they feel it will lead to overeating and weight gain. This is a legitimate concern. This is why women should always sit across from a man while he eats. If watching him shovel, mixing his corn and potatoes, bits of juice making his mustache glisten with greasy luminosity isn’t enough to keep a gal inspired to stay thin, the bubbling processing afterwards will. It sounds like marbles in a pvc pipe.
Nurses explain the magic ratio to young homemakers.
10. A man with a full stomach is less likely to impregnate females.
Women don’t need contraceptions; they need to cook dinner for their husbands.
It is nearly impossible for a man to impregnate a woman no sooner than two hours after a healthy meal. The sleepy goodness that overtakes a man extends to his little swimmers. They become fat and lazy, like tadpoles stranded on a mud flat. It takes almost two hours for them to perk up. As men age, this sleepy time becomes longer.
I should note that hungry men have very industrious sperm.
11. Women are ‘hard-wired’ to cook and care for men.
Women’s brains and souls are constructed to care for their husbands. This doesn’t mean she needs to take care of other men. It does mean she will compete with other women in a race to get dinner on the table. This trend has started to sprout a grass roots following among both conservative good women and their loopy liberal counterparts.
What is disturbing about these “tell us how hard it is to make supper” contests is that they start to sound like “who can whine the loudest” problem admiration societies. Maybe the biggest problem with getting dinner on the table for these gals is getting off the computer, stop cryin’ about how ‘busy’ you are and make some supper! Why do some women need a contest for this? I entered glorious reason number 12 as my ‘essay’ for the contest. I can’t wait for my meal makeover.
12. Preparing supper every single day, day in and day out, increases a woman’s self-esteem with a measurable goal in life.
While certainly not worth bragging about, I personally have provided a hot delicious evening meal, on time and without fail 3,435 days in a row. By meal or dinner, I mean meat, potatoes, a small salad, vegetables and dessert. I have a small light up board in the kitchen that keeps count. It is a real source of pride for my husband and our family. I still burn from shame the last day I missed preparing supper. It was the same day I gave birth to our youngest. With the first I was able to sneak home and slip a frozen casserole in the oven. Since our second child was born around supper time, I was just too occupied. My priorities were confused. My previous record fell in disgrace.
13. The number one reason husbands forget anniversaries and birthdays is inadequate attention at home.
99% of men that forget anniversaries don’t have regular meals prepared by a wife. Men love attention. Men’s stomachs love attention. Young, old, gimpy or fit – a man will relish the attention of a woman’s cooking. Many times a man cannot express his needs clearly and will lash out with passive aggressive behaviors. Casually forgetting a birthday or anniversary, he is sending his lady love a message – LOVE ME! Women should put down their cruel and selfish ways and stop for a moment each day to prepare a nice meal for their husband. While many attribute forgetfulness for birthdays as a Y chromosome trait, the cause is more behavioral and preventable. Don’t let the man in your life become a statistic.
Apron parties are a great way to introduce liberal women to the power of aprons. Be warned! Pixie haired brunettes, feeling the empowering energy of the apron for the first time, might be compelled to smack talk. Keep a moist cloth handy to stuff in her pie hole. Blessed are the peace makers!
14. All women, no matter their obvious physical flaws, look terrific in an apron.
Every woman has some physical flaw she would like to change. A little more jiggle to the hip or twin dimples at the small of her back are common complaints. Rather than fret, she should wear an apron.
Aprons are slimming. With pleats and gathering, a woman with little shape appears appealingly curvaceous. A woman with a little plumpness also benefits. With a cinched tie, waistlines are miraculously svelte. A pretty print can highlight a twinkle of eye color and bring warmth to sallow complexions. The humble apron is a gal’s best beauty aid.
Dionne Von Furstenberg used the miracle of the apron for her popular ‘wrap dress’ which is a timeless classic. It just looks great on everyone. Smart ladies know this is just a fancy apron with a back panel. Of course it goes without saying that the only reason to wear such a dress is to prepare a meal or let the other ladies of the fellowship know you’re prepared to spring into cooking action at a moment’s notice.
15. Slaving over a hot stove leads to a radiant complexion.
Why salons offering expensive steam facials are popular is beyond me. A woman has everything she needs to have a fresh faced complexion and tiny pores right in her own home. Preparing dinner for the family endows a woman with a special glow. It is all about love.
A woman radiates when she has put aside silly tasks and prepares dinner for the family. Her skin glows with warmth and affection as she removes delicious casseroles and roasted meats from the stove. More than just the heat and moisturizing natural emollients from airborne fats are at work here. She is reaching her potential as a woman.
This is a great cookbook for the children that clearly sets roles for boys as girls. Boys eat the food. Girls cook and clean.
16. Preparing dinner is an opportunity to convey traditions and cultural knowledge.
Dinnertime is a great opportunity for discussion and great conversations. While the Beecham household always shies away from controversial topics at the dinner table, sometimes when the kids are off at camp we have frank adult discourse. After dinner is a great time to bring up confusing cultural aspects of the news. Same sex marriage is one topic that is adults only in our home.
With all this same sex marriage talk, I admit that I was confused. Marriage is already same sex because the sex is the same all the time. After a delicious dinner, Mister explained to me that men will marry other men and that is the reason it is called same sex marriage. Since men like pretty much the same things sexually, this nomenclature makes sense. I don’t know why men would want to marry each other because I think they would need two televisions so they wouldn’t fight over the remote.
Eating a meal and adhering to time tested and proven gender roles in the family prepares the next generation for protecting marriage and promotes healthy lifestyles. In our home, we have rules that extend far beyond the popular “don’t stick your tongue in the ketchup bottle” Napoleonic code. Females serve the men. Men do not touch any plates other than their own. The reason for this is clear. Given their busy lives, men and boys sometimes will forget to wash their hands after using the facilities. When they do wash, they will sometimes refuse to use the hibiclens before meals.
"Only whores make sandwiches"
17. Only whores make sandwiches or a light salad for supper.
It should be clear that nice girls cook full meals for their husbands. Whores make sandwiches.
The only time a good wife should make a sandwich for her husband is if they plan to have sex and maybe a larger meal later. Even then, many pastors recommend waiting two to three hours to avoid cramping and lazy pre-embryonic sperm.
18. Having dinner on the table is a spiritual encounter for women.
Food selection and preparation is something women all over the globe have done for nearly 6,000 years. More than just serving up slop to the gaping maws of related individuals, she sets the tone and tempo of the family unit. For most of the world’s religions, it is a time to give thanks and enjoy the blessings of each other’s company. This is sacred work for women. No one should put asunder women’s rights of religious freedom with their feminist spittle and ire.
The body is a temple. Mothers and wives should not allow others to defile their families with sin, salty foods and needless sugars. She’s doing the work of Jesus here, people. Don’t block the Jesus with your negative feelings and personal agenda.

Well, it isn’t bad per se, but it does draw into question your value as a woman. When you let this kind of arrangement begin, you open the relationship up to a plethora of problems.
All men want to be nurtured and cared for. Food, something your boyfriend values as evidenced by his career choice, communicates not only his skill but his need to share that with the world. While you may not be the best cook, perhaps you can gain mastery of one or two dishes. This would enable you to speak the same language of affection as it were.
Unlike animals, food is more than just nutrition. It is communication and love. Jesus tells us to “take this bread” during the last supper. The Bible is filled with references on how food nourishes not only the body, but the soul.
I think that if you ignore the spiritual component of cooking for your man, you will loose him to some woman that understands this more fully. For you sake, please at least gain some sous skills or learn how to properly fry an egg.
Best of Luck and Love!

“Well, it isn’t bad per se, but it does draw into question your value as a woman.”
No it doesn’t. A value of a woman and a man should be the same, the only differences between a man and a woman when it comes to ‘duties’ is who fertilizes the egg and who pops out the baby. If a man wants to cook and the woman doesn’t like to cook, it doesn’t mean squat in terms of her being a ‘woman’.
“All men want to be nurtured and cared for.”
And you speak for all men how and why? Have you talked to every single man on the face of the planet and gotten their response? What about women? Who’s to say it’s different for women? You clearly don’t represent all women so you can’t say anything on their behalf just because you’re a woman.
“The Bible is filled with references on how food nourishes not only the body, but the soul.”
The bible is filled with other things, such as supporting murder and death to others. Best taken with a grain of salt, figuratively speaking.
“I think that if you ignore the spiritual component of cooking for your man, you will loose him to some woman that understands this more fully.”
Except if he wants to do all the cooking, how would any other woman who can or can’t cook affect that?
“For you sake, please at least gain some sous skills or learn how to properly fry an egg.”
I’d only agree to this simply because if one should be on their own, they should at least be able to make something instead of having to eat out all the time, or in case something happens to the main chef of the house.
However, to base your sayings not on what could happen to him but instead on the values of a woman, your points are vastly weaker.

You’re the one who seems to be speaking for all men and women on the face of the planet, you can’t just turn a question around and act like you’ve won when you started out so weak.
“You completely ignore her issues and decide to just jump all over my sound and proven advice.”
Your ‘advice’ is basically chastising her for not being a cook and saying that her ‘value as a woman’ isn’t as much as a woman who can cook.
“Why do you hate women so much?”
How is treating women with respect and saying that they should be equals with men hating women? You’re the one who’s claiming that women are to be in the kitchen only, and you say that while talking down to a man, something the bible specifically prohibits.

Because you are asking women to be something other than their authentic self. What if she is more equal than you? I think I could see that happening easily, although I don’t know why she would have anything to do with you.
To say that you would ‘treat a woman’ with equality isn’t going to win you any dates. Who wants to be treated like self important weirdo that tells a married woman to “make him a sandwich” like you’ve done with me and our Dear Anabelle? I think if you go door to door and ask you will not find many.

“Because you are asking women to be something other than their authentic self.”
You’re the one telling women that they should be nothing but housewives or handle secretarial tasks and jobs.
“What if she is more equal than you?”
Your stupidity is honestly quite astounding sometimes. Apparently you don’t know the definition of equal. Go look it up.
“To say that you would ‘treat a woman’ with equality isn’t going to win you any dates.”
I’m not trying to win any dates, I’m wanting to make sure that if there’s an injustice and someone’s being treated differently purely because of something as meaningless as gender or race or sexuality, that it gets corrected.
“Who wants to be treated like self important weirdo that tells a married woman to “make him a sandwich” like you’ve done with me and our Dear Anabelle?”
You think women are only good for making sandwiches and that women who don’t are lesser for it, and yet you continuously open your mouth and act as if you’re superior to a man when your own beliefs dictate otherwise.
“I think if you go door to door and ask you will not find many.”
What, wanting to be treated like a person and not as some object for a man to stick his dick into and make him food? You think that there are more women in the world that want that kind of life than women who don’t?

Hi Kitten!
No, anyone that reads your comments understands you are incapable of serving any man that adores you. Poor Bruce had some real horror stories about your short lived romance and marriage. Just as a pro-tip between us girls, Kitten, throwing a bag of Wonderbread and a chunk of cheese at a man isn’t ‘serving dinner’.
Haven’t you ever thought about branching out and learning to cook well? You could start by cooking for your cats and work up to human food.
Love you, Kitten. I hope all is well.

Except if it was a nulled, that meant it never happened! What a shock! Except he also said that he consummated the marriage to a woman he has never physically met before.
Sooooo, yeah, you’re basically just talkin’ shit in order to insult Claire.

Judging from Claire’s widdle comment above, I think she got a little j-e-a-l-o-u-s when you complimented my debate skills. She’s fishing for some positive feedback from you, most likely because you’re a stable male role model in her life.

I agree Pebrocks. Everyone should be able to take care of themselves. I also like the idea of boys learning to cook, as long as some dishes aren’t part of the education indoctrination.
Men need to know if a woman is a good cook. Cooking classes are an excellent way to do this. I know you feel that you would be the primary cook in your household, but what if she is a better chef than you? Or are you like LN and only want someone that is ‘equal’ to you because you fear being bested?

Here’s an easy macaroni and cheese recipe that you could use. This recipe serves 2 people, enough for you and a friend.
1. Over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter or margarine. Add 1 tablespoon of flour. This creates something called roux.
2. Gradually add 1/2 cup of milk to the roux. Add 1/8 teaspoon of salt and constantly stir the mixture until it’s thickened.
3. Grate some cheddar cheese and measure 1/2 cup of grated chedder cheese. Store the unused cheese in a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge.
Add 3/4 of the grated cheese into the milk mixture.

7. Take pasta mixture out of the oven and sprinkle remaining grated cheese. Return to the oven until melted.

YUM! That sounds lovely! Have you tried making a Bechamel sauce? It is very close to what you have here, with just a few tweaks…..
Sweat one onion (1/4 dice) in a fairly large saute pan with two Tablespoons butter over medium low heat. I usually add cracked pepper at this point. The stronger the onion, the better.
When the onion is translucent, with no browning, add a couple of Tablespoons of AP flour to make the roux. I use a handy tool for this that looks like a cross between a welder’s flint thingy with a spring on the end that picks up the flour.
Warm 1 cup 1/2&1/2 and 2 cups Vitamin D milk in the microwave. Needs to be fairly warm, but not boiling. This is important so the sauce doesn’t have lumps.
Use a wisk to stir the roux and incorporate the warm milk/cream mixure. Increase the heat to a medium simmer.
Add two sprigs fresh Thyme, a pinch of nutmeg, two cloves, and one Bay leaf. Add only a bit of salt and more cracked pepper. Allow to simmer.
As it thickens, taste. Should seem interesting, but not overpowering. Add salt to taste at this point, because if you add to taste before the simmer it may be too salty.
Strain the mixture into a bowl so all the onions and Thyme and Bay leaf are removed from the mixture. I use a mesh colander to strain, nothing fancy. The sauce should be nice and smooth, strain twice if you need.
After making sure your original sauce pan is cleaned out from chunky bits, transfer back to the pan and put it on low heat. You can use another pan (did this once) but I always clean as I go, so it was just as easy to use the same pan.
Add cheese of your choice – about 1/2 cup. You can take this sauce a lot of different places. I’ve poured it over pumpkin ravioli and took it straight to the table, pour it over mac with Cheddar added a topping of buttered Panko crumbs and baked for orgasmic Mac-n-cheese or even poured over cauliflower it is delicious!

I could just hug your neck, Ourboros! I always knew you weren’t like some of the other less mature posters on here. I like that you posted something positive and personally revealing. This is the kind of honesty that the internet should strive for. You’re a good egg in my book! So in return, I’ll follow your lead and share.
I think cooking together is something that young people do at the beginning of a relationship to get to know each other. Mister and I cooked together. I learned about what his mother made and those favorite dishes that she was woefully unskilled in preparing.
Biscuits and Gravy. Mother Beecham grew up in Mathattan. She had no concept of the sheer joy of a flaky, homemade biscuit and creamy, spicy sausage gravy. Mister’s Father was a Southern gentleman and had some buyer’s remorse over this deficit in her skill set. Of course being able to show Mister the tricks of B&G really helped elevate his parent’s opinion of me. Food is communication of culture, people. We need to know the language.
Again, Ourboros, thank you for your positive post.

Well, I’m not a seer when it comes to relationships. I will say that things will change throughout your marriage. Traditional roles work, which is why they are traditional. I suppose other roles work, but not with the tried and true decade in and out like a woman serving dinner. This isn’t a diss on women, it is just what has proven to work.

I think cooking is manly as hell. I don’t understand how people think cooking is girlish. It’s not. You see where there is no food, and you say, no, this will not do, and then you create your own food, with science. The only difference between you making them and your mother or girlfriend making them is that you took some goddamn initiative instead of being caught up in obsolete gender roles. When my guy friends cook for me, they’re like awww yissss we wanted food, so we made some goddamn food and it’s tasty and delicious.

I can tell each and every one of you that good cooking is an ultimate aphrodisiac. Sure, our children roll their eyes at us as we giggle back and forth at the dinner table, our eyes and playful foot-taps forecasting the evening activities to come. But that is a small price to pay for the togetherness of the family unit.

I honestly find nothing wrong with a man that can cook, and in this day and age the cooking should be shared by both parties. While it’s been “tradition” for women to cook in the past, you do have to look at how things were in the past. Men typically went out and hunted for the food while women stayed in the village to cook and take care of the children. Today that doesn’t need to happen.
My brother in law is the cook in the family while my sister is the one that goes out and does the work. He is trying to find a job, but in this economy it is tough. I don’t see how a man doing the cooking is a bad thing, or how he will “catch gay” from it.

Have to cook from recipes sometimes, most of the time. I have a Nu-wave oven, ordered 300.$ worth of new cookware thats green organic ceramic coating, healthier. I’ve been married for 7 years There is only the two of us. One income I do the best I can but I’ve started having some health issues Cooking has not been very enjoyable as a matter of fact I hate to cook I’m 48. I’m tired all the time my stomach bloats after I eat my Husband expects me to take care of the household, do the laundry, wash dishes, clean, etc. pick up after him like I was his mother I’m stressed out I used to work full time I met him 7 years ago and cooked Thanksgiving Dinner for him after we met. I can cook some things I had to go to the doctor for my health issues had a sonogram on my abdomen and have to have lab work and see an Endocrineologist I have a thyroid condition and probably adrenal gland condition I’ve cooked alot in my life It would be nice for someone to cook for me.

When I was choosing the fittings for my wife’s kitchen (I’m willing to concede that even though it’s in my house, it is really her domain) I consulted her opinion viz-a-viz gas vs electricity before coming to my decision. She argued, quite cogently, that a gas hob is preferable because it responds instantly, unlike electric hobs which take a while to heat up or cool down. After mulling it over for a while, I decided that her argument was sound, and so I came down on her side and agreed to allow her to have a gas hob. I think I made the right choice.

In general my wife will cook dinner. I know how to cook a few things for sustenance yet I never perfected the art like my wife has. I must say though the grill is one of my favorite past times. Every now and then my wife and I plan to not have dinner at home and we enjoy going out to eat. Or if due to a variety of circumstances dinner will not be ready before too late in the evening and there are no plans for a resturant we got to Arby’s!

Lol, this article is kinda cute and Retro. But seriously, “Catch the Gay”? Wow. My dad helps out with dinner all the time and he’s been happily married to my mom to this day. My mother makes sandwiches sometimes, and sometimes she’ll make a whole Turkey dinner. She is certainly not a whore, I can tell you that, she is a kind and loving Christian mother. She makes them because sandwiches are tasty, and we like to eat them. Sometimes my mom isn’t able to slave over a stove all day making big fancy meals, because she is busy working a part time job at the same office my dad works at to earn extra money to support our family. If that’s the case, then me, my dad, and my sister like to get together and cook a meal. It’s fun and takes a lot of stress off my mom’s shoulders.
I am female, and I plan on getting a JOB in the future so I can actually support myself. The economy isn’t what it used to be, so I can’t be some helpless woman who relies on one person to support my future family.

Com’on Kitten, you are better than this logic. Don’t let LN drag you down.
If a woman is doing the cooking, trust me she knows how to add a little rat poison or eyedrops for flavor. Women have done this for centuries in response to beatings.

You can’t actually come up with anything decent, so the best insult you can come up with is ‘you’re gay’? I feel offended that you think that that’s even offensive enough to insult me. Is that seriously the best your tiny, immature brain can conjure up? Is that the most offensive thing you can possibly utter? Is that the greatest insult that you could think of? You’re so insecure about your own sexuality, that you have to lash out against others like some high-school nitwit with internet access and decides to just call everyone ‘fag’ and then cry about how you hate yourself at night.

I think it far more likely that August’s wife was simply overcome by guilt. She sounds like a good Christian woman; the kind of decent human being who would realise her error and feel bad about it without any need of chastisement by August. The most successful disciplinarian is one who never has to actually discipline his wife. August seems to have his household under control, and deserves plaudits for that.
