Unimpressive.

When I first saw this, I thought it had to be a joke.

But it isn't.

This is the most pathetic thing I have ever read. Literally, this chick makes me want to apologize for my entire gender. Where are the feminists to slap her upside her coifed hairdo? Oh, that's right. They support a woman's right to choose prostitution as a profession.

In all seriousness, check out any reality show and you will see women saying precisely this sort of thing. They all have the "what have you bought for me/done for me lately" attitude. Ladies, if this is what you are telling the man in your life, you needn't wonder why he hasn't popped the question.

Feminism has done such a disservice to women. They haven't taught women where their true power lies. It isn't in getting stuff from men or going to work and leaving their children to be raised by someone else or even in their ultimate Nirvana of "equality." All women have done is debase themselves by trying to be "equal". They have sunk to "equality" and in the process have orphaned a generation of children, gotten the privilege of getting themselves killed in the line of duty, found out that men really don't call back when you sleep with them, and spawned entirely new strains of the most virulent STDs the world has ever known. Congratulations.

Exactly what part of "equal" is defined by filling the empty soul one has created through meaningless liaisons with material possessions. We have now established what this woman clearly is, it is now just a matter of price. She wants to travel, have her parents travel and herself and her friends all treated to spa days and expensive shopping trips.

Apparently what this gal doesn't get is that when a man is truly committed to you -- I mean down to the bone marrow -- and you are equally committed to him......amazing, wonderful things happen without you even having to ask. But all of it -- the trips, the money, the material possessions, the jewelry, the gifts -- pale in comparison to the importance of the little moments that love creates.

Truly, I can't tell you what my husband got me for our last anniversary or even Christmas. It was spectacular, I'm sure. But the thoughtful things he does for me every day and the considerate, sweet, loving things he does for his family constantly, mean more than all the trinkets in the world. Frankly, I don't even think in terms of "what can I get from him next?" Instead, my concern at the moment is how his sprained ankle is. (He sprained his ankle badly this morning taking our 12-foot Christmas tree out to the curb.....a 12-foot tree, by the way, that the children still talk about going to get with him. Far more important than the fact that the tree was 12 feet was the time he spent with his children. They will always remember that.)

I don't know. It just seems like women today are more interested in the temporal things rather than the permanent and it is so sad.

This article didn't impress me in the least. In fact, it impressed upon me the amount of work that truly has to be done to reverse this sad state of mind that seems to have permeated women's psyches.
