Actually, the article was written to #1 Entertain and #2 Get people to click on it.
Since it has been shared this many times, it came on to the field and didn’t have to even notice the goalposts because it scored touchdown after touchdown and went for 2 after every time just to drive up the score.
Again, people taking this as serious literature is arguably more amusing than the article itself.
First of all, this is a humor site. It is not meant to be educational, scholarly, progressive, or anything other than marginally amusing takes on the “first world” struggles of recent graduates. So starting off, you’re a somewhat of a moron for even taking it seriously. The fact that you got offended by it is even more ridiculous.
As another commentator noted, the idea that a woman would have been torn apart if she wrote this about man but me writing it about women gets shared 30,000+ times is part of the amusement. Likewise, writing a “girl power” piece littered with chauvinism is also pretty funny to, it seems, a lot of people.
It is a great message (smart and successful women are better wives) delivered in an off-kilter way…because this is a humor site…and everything here is written in a specific voice for a specific audience.
Maybe you don’t find it funny, and that’s fine. Different strokes for different folks. But to come here and embarrass yourself with your “LOOK AT ME I’M OFFENDED” drivel is pretty terrible.
There are tons of different types of intelligence, and the three you mentioned (academically competent, witty or socially competent) are perfect examples. Luckily, guys and ladies are free to make their own interpretations of what the term means for them and which aspects of “smart” they value the most. The concept behind the article is more about wanting someone who can challenge you at times, support you at others, but more than anything improve you through the relationship. “Dumb” girls, however they’re dumb, don’t.
While you may or may not be right on the level of competitiveness, I don’t think men being insecure about the success of their partner stems from nature’s plan or some inherent instinct. I think it stems from insecurity and self doubt in the individual male and it needs to be overcome.
I know people who aren’t regular readers are coming to this article now, but honestly BriniG I would hope that the style it is written in and the language used would be a clue as to the level of seriousness it entails. Do I mean what I say? Sure. Is it intentionally over the top? You bet.
As far as “If a woman wrote that her husband’s intelligence and success made her more likely to succeed in her career, people would say she can’t make it on her own. If a women said her husband’s success makes her more confident, people would say she’s co-dependent. If a woman said her husband’s income helps supplement her own to elevate their quality of living, she’s a gold-digger.” I absolutely love that you caught on to that and commented on it.

While less amusing, this is incredibly true, so A+ for that.
Thank you, decathexisplexus

I am free to take stylistic liberties. Traditional structure has no sway over me.
You realize that this site is only about half-serious, right?
There’s more than enough of ole Roge to go around
