Every now and then some comments are so bad that they are good. Friday’s post on the disappearance of the wife from Western society drew a few of these.
In addition to being very funny, the winner and following comment is a perfect example of a failure to connect the dots:
As the ideal submitting sweet helpful wife – 4 times now – I end up leaving every husband because of their self destructive addictions of sex/strippers/drugs and or alcohol. I have had no problem being the helpful wife and wild sex kitten in the bedroom- besides the fact that I am a fit beautiful former model and make lots of money and cook and clean. But why should I put 110 % into a marriage when he is wasting our money and health etc etc with whores? 90% of my divorced girlfriends were the model wives you say do not exist — they all left their cheating and irresponsible husbands! The other 10% were cheating too so they did not care. All you men whine and cry about how marriage is dead but the porn industry is sure making a huge profit …So instead of lamenting the poor state of women/wives why not write articles that educate young men to not become victims of porn and drugs! Help men to become real men. I remember reading lots of angry articles from Henry Makow complaining about western women only to find out later that he was a porn sex addict! Instead of pointing your fingers at women start looking at yourselves in the mirror!

Jennifer boasts that she is a “fit beautiful former model” and “wild sex kitten” yet cannot understand why the guys who marry her are so interested in pornography, prostitutes, strippers and the like. Actually, if you open up the prostitute advertisements in one of your local weekly sex rags, you might find a hooker advertising herself as… A fit model and sex kitten (or vixen)!
A woman who has married four times is not all that far from a prostitute herself, and may only differ in that she’s managed to obtain more property through sex than your typical stripper. But Jennifer’s comment does illustrate the attitude of contemporary American women, who think that being sexy is the most important prerequisite for being a “wife.” In truth, it is not a wife for whom that is most important, but a harlot.
If anything, Jennifer is the poster girl for rotating polyandry.
For runner up, I found another off-the-mark comment, this time written by a man:
I think it depends on what type of woman you are looking at to become your wife.
There are many unattractive women, and single mommies that would love to have a husband and be the wives like our grandmas.
But if you are looking for super model to be your wife then everything that you wrote is correct.

First, Dan must be pretty clueless if he thinks “single mommies” can be “wives like our grandmas.” Does he have any idea what our grandmas thought of single mommies? There’s a very pleasant park down the street a little ways from where I live that used to be an institution for girls. It was a sort of reform school for girls who came to the attention of the court for, among other things, getting knocked up. Ironically, it is also where Mary K. LeTourneau was last arrested with her pubescent lover before finally being sent to prison.
Their instruction was as follows:
In all things, the effort is to maintain at the school a home atmosphere. Many of the girls have never known what this means, and they frequently develop remarkably under its influence. . . . In addition to regular school work, the girls learn to do all the work of a home—cooking, serving, canning, sewing, mending, darning, laundry work, housekeeping, and gardening. Industrial work occupies about three hours per day for each girl.
Single mommies were viewed as delinquents who needed to be molded into acceptable wives in an institutional setting. Even then, her value as a wife would have been considerably lower than girls who avoided having illegitimate children. The school was set up specifically to train the girls to be at least decent wives, which at the time was considered the most effective and humane method of reform. It offered them a chance at redemption as women.
Today, sadly, these girls would probably compare favorably as wives to the typical American female. This is a tragic reminder of the depths to which our civilization has sunk.
However, a contemporary single mother has only proven one thing: she has absolutely no regard for our grandmothers’ values.
As for Dan’s suggestion that unattractive women make good wives, he’s wrong. A woman’s looks have nothing to do with her legal advantages over men in marriage, and may actually serve to make her more likely to cheat for “validation.”
