    The Merry Widow


    I laughed when I read this ...she is happier now hubby is dead....

    A reader called Benjamin comments on the article:
    "So someone actually sits down to express her appreciation of her loving husband's untimely death at 30 and the financial rewards it has brought. She actually says it: her husband is worth more dead than alive.

    That clinches it for me. I shall never marry. No callous woman shall have my money, neither before nor upon my death."
    Benjamin, London,


    Developing some of the steely eyed realism he sees in modern women

    An American gal is not too happy here and acuses him of generalisingShe does not appear to happy that a sista has let the cat out of the bag:



    "That's right, Benjamin -- because all women are the same, aren't they? Gross generalizations based on one woman's experience are where it's at, eh?

    I think there are a lot of things going on in this article. This woman loved her husband, but not enough to wish he were still alive. There's no way she could've known that before he died, though. Back to that old adage "If I knew then what I know now..." Her honesty is a bit unsettling for me as a reader, but that's because it's an unsettling truth for her. At the end of the day, though, I don't applaud her honesty. There are some things that are better kept to oneself. If you need to get it out on paper, write in a diary."
    Shelley, Boston, USA

    Very disturbing indeed.

    The most offensive thing you can do to a feminist is treat her with FULL equality.

    Very, very sad. Not only is her lack of grief over the loss of her husband and her children's father disturbing, but also her lack of appreciation for the worth of a human life. I read through the paper and quietly mourn when I hear of someone's life ending tragically and too young. I'll shed a couple of tears for total strangers when I think of the life that is lost and the families who are left to deal with the hole left in their lives and hearts. The fact alone that her children will never have the chance to know their dad should fill her with grief.

    I do agree with that female poster, though. She should have kept her mouth shut. She should have kept her lack of human emotion to herself. If, for no other reason, then out of respect for the husband she doesn't mourn. THIS shouldn't be the final tribute to the memory of a wonderful father who died too soon. He deserved better than that, I don't have to know him to say that. Everyone deserves better than that.
    "Every noble impulse, every unselfish expression of love; every brave suffering for the right; every surrender of self to something higher than self; every loyalty to an ideal; every unselfish devotion to principle; every helpfulness to humanity; every act of self-control; every fine courage of the soul, undefeated by pretense or policy, but by being, doing, and living of good for the very good’s sake—that is spirituality." -David O. McKay

    For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12

    I think nowdays all of us are pretty lean on feelings
    My son's mother hasnt been heard from in months, she had ann abusive boyfriend(whom she has 3 kids by) and to be honest, If he did her in I could care less personally other than the fact her kids and my son will grow up without a mother...............she made her bed.

    and I thought women were more empathetic. guess not huh

    The truth is - fallen humanity. We are imperfect we get it wrong.
    Like the song a few years ago roared out "there is something wrong with human nature!"

    It is sometimes said its easy to be good .No it aint! It takes effort and there is a spiritual dimension which is left out and we wonder why we feel so empty.

    The bias in human nature is to evil merely letting go means we become less compassionate.
    Rereading that I realised how easy I myself could by like that woman. I for one have no right to judge anyone. Only I strive to be better even if only erratically and with failings.
    Such is human nature.Its an uphill battle to be good. But we must all try otherwise we would have hell on earth.

    The holocaust is in our time a grim reminder of how low men and women can become by just" letting go" to baser instincts."survial of the fittest"
    its an attitude that still tempts us all to our ruin.

    This brings to mind those misandrist Scottish Widows Insurance adverts being shown on TV. The sensuous self-satisfied widow draped in high-couture black strolling across the hillside now that her husband has finally died and left her loadsamoney.

    Interesting observation!! I think we can learn a lot from the way advertisers operate..

    This would not be advdertised if it did not sell..

    What i find odd is this..

    It is a man who insures himself so that a woman profits..?

    How does this imagery persuade a man to get insurance?

    Or is it just that pretty women sell to men better?

    Dick over rides brain..

    Why is it seen as more important that man is insured?

    I think the state wants men insured so that they dont have to pay so much welfare to widows..

    They way I see it, I insure all my ex's etc in case they die, I will have some cash to pay for the costs of looking after the kids etc..

    Mind you, i'd get all that off the state anyway..

    Insurance.. Pay twice over for what the state is supposed to be providing anyway!!

    Boy this other women isn't helping much. We are meant to try and understand the first woman's feelings (touchy, feely Yuk!). Sorry I can't do that when I see someone as so self-absorbed. Her honesty isn't shocking, it is her complete lack of honor!

    Generalizing is normal and is not blanketing! When some bad or evil man does some deed I don't take it personally and I don't do bend over backwards rationalizations to explain evil. Yet you do get this kind of evil from so many woman apologists. Little evils are thus compounded by even smaller rationalizations. These women see they have done simular things and are really defending themselves via other women sins. Bad women behave thus in little small moves of evil, for larger moves are too dangerous.

    As for keeping her mouth shut, she can't, for an attention whore must say something shocking so that people will pay attention her. Here she uses her admittedly nice husband (may he rest in peace) for a good dose of look and talk to me I'm going through some more personal experience that I must stoke for all its worth In other words some more me me me juice. Bloody amazing! I need a bath.

    The good thing about attention whores is that they do say a lot about what they feel etc..

    In doing so, they often provide insights into human nature etc that we otherwise would not be so sure of..

    Yep stand back and watch look and learn well and avoid.
    no doubt more men will. Face reality .

    These women see they have done simular things and are really defending themselves via other women sins. Bad women behave thus in little small moves of evil, for larger moves are too dangerous.

    Good insight Timo. This is helpful to understand the collective mentality many of them have.
    This expalins why feminists complain of " male dominated politics" or indeed "male dominated "anything.
    How they imagine "men rule the world".

    They assume that men are like them, and will gang up together collectively as they do. Which as we know the harsh reality men do nothing of the sort.

    I hope they did a serious autopsy on the dead husband including a complete chemical analysis for poison. This case has all the earmarks of a black widow with a jar of arsenic -- or "herbal" tea.

    The probability is that the feminist dominated authorities wrote the poor guy off as "natural" causes, as if murder by wife is "natural." Now she's out dating, looking for her next victim before his life insurance runs out.

    Yes, feminists have the collective hive-mind mentality, similar to the Borg. Men are usually more individualist.

    You flatter them. Bees are hardworking creatures that manufacture a useful product. I describe the womans mind as being very much of the herd mentality.

    A load of cows.

    Ok, cows produce a useful product too, as a result of constantly eating and ruminating together.

    However, that product is very dangerous for your heart...

    Very good point. That's why all that talk about leveling the playing field is so misleading. Nevertheless men are still doing well, in spite of all the attempts to keep them down. It's in the courts where they are struggling. Child custody, alimony, false allegations. These things need to be addressed. For the rest you can expect men to survive, even prosper.
