Woman's magazine on "How to Break Your Man Down"

EpochZero · 2011-01-11T19:36:04+00:00

For the 12 billionth time... this is satire.

Look at the site name. Ladies Monthly?
Written by Ms. Ann Thrope?
For fuck's sake. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Psycotica · 2011-01-11T18:42:37+00:00

The only thing in there that makes sense is the sex part. "Hey honey, if you help me with (insert random) i'll give you a 30' coupon of whatever you want". Win / win for me =)

Satirical "magazine". Like Landover Baptist, absolutely nothing is serious or meant to be taken as such.

Yeah. It's satire.

"Lunch will be your last meal of the day. Eating later in the afternoon and evening leaves you packing baggage all the way to bed. For lunch, you can splurge. A half jar of baby food is fine, but if you eat a whole jar you may want to supplement your diet with some helpful, metabolism-boosting supplements. Try taking your child’s ADHD medication, or cocaine, or both. Combining stimulants provides a synergistic effect that, coupled with exercise, can help you burn calories, fat, and the living room furniture in an speed-fueled rampage"

Eat Smart for Neutral Vaginal Scent

I have never laughed so hard in m life.

Note: may not be a real women's magazine.

2011-01-12T02:33:11+00:00

M. Thrope is a troll worthy of 4chan.

disposable_human · 2011-01-12T03:24:05+00:00

You can tell it's fake because the author is milking the comments for outrage.

2011-01-11T19:46:17+00:00

Article is written by: Miss Ann Thrope.

Satire.

I_am_the_Walrus · 2011-01-11T22:25:29+00:00

To the credit of anyone taking it seriously, it's getting harder and harder to tell the difference between satire and reality. I submit to you: www.godhatesfags.com. Just as malicious and hateful, but perfectly serious. If I had found the WBC on my own I would have thought it was a joke.

That being said...this is kind of amusing.

2011-01-12T00:46:21+00:00

Yuh...ha ha fucking ha ha ha. As someone who HAD a wife who did exactly what the article is instructing the moment I said "I DO", it doesn't seem all that funny. I want to see how many women laugh when a "funny" article about "how to break your women down" comes out. Guaranteed...the word "abuse" will come up within the first few comments. Really, she was a satanic bitch!

ruinercollector · 2011-01-12T00:47:23+00:00

Haha...didn't check out the source, did you? :)

Hristix · 2011-01-12T01:04:36+00:00

Satire site, duh. Look at this other link.

This has to be a troll. If it isn't, she must be the loneliest woman alive.

ClandestineSandwich · 2011-01-12T06:25:46+00:00

ITT: people who got trolled

Fatalistic · 2011-01-11T18:35:40+00:00

Nothing is just satire.

RikF · 2011-01-11T19:43:12+00:00

While I'm pretty sure this is a work of satire, many of the points in it ring a little too true for some of us. And for any women who think that anything in here sounds like it might be a good idea, let me tell you, it's a dangerous game. Because your man might be a little more willing than you think to say "You know what? Screw you. You're not worth it."

mag_cue · 2011-01-12T02:34:32+00:00

ITT: people who're easily trolled and/or think women are the only gender who can manipulate in a relationship.

bowling4meth · 2011-01-11T23:03:36+00:00

"Ann Thrope" - as in "Miss Ann Thrope".

Trolls trolling trolls etc. springs to mind.

2011-01-12T02:10:53+00:00

Smells like troll.

mul4mbo · 2011-01-11T19:25:38+00:00

“I have a headache because you never took the trash out.” and “If you don’t I’m leaving you.”

haha, that is beyond bitchy.

kloo2yoo · 2011-01-11T19:52:10+00:00

satire.

Like other satire sites, it's not harmless.

It's not worth tilting at each of these windmills, but do be aware of them.

As Fatalistic said, Nothing is just satire.

AnnArchist · 2011-01-11T22:11:28+00:00

I've never let my girlfriend hold the remote while I am in the room for more than 10 minutes in 4+ years.

This wall doesn't crumble.

"you’re in for a surprise when your man starts giving you lip every time you tell him to do things" Replace man with woman, and you've got a shitstorm from the women who read theladiesmonthly.com.

Ann Thrope? As in misanthrope? (definition: a person who hates or distrusts humankind) Nice pen name you picked out!

Ann Thrope says:

"How dare you speak of our brand like that. Our writers are level-headed, concerned, and unemotional in their commitment to women’s media."

She then goes on to insult anyone that disagrees with her, cussing at them and calling them names. Hardly the definition of level-headed & unemotional.

Her article advises women to say “If you don’t I’m leaving you.” This is mental abuse. If her husband were to leave her, this article and her comments alone could easily be used against her in court to show her as an abusive spouse. I know you're going to insult me for this Ann, but take a printout to a divorce lawyer to read and get their opinion. (don't forget to print the comments section!)

"Men should be punished for allowing the abuse of women among their gender." This is a very sexist statement, which of course Ann denies being sexist. This statement treats ALL men as deserving punishment. The definition of sexism is: prejudice or discrimination based on sex.

Could I get a level-headed, unemotional response from Ann? Here are some quotes from her previous responses:

Ann Thrope says: "And you’re just a bitch."

"And if you are a man who is put-off by this advice, you are a total dick."

"These are the tips any seasoned bitch already knows in order to get her way."

"Lazy bastard, she’s probably just shame-fucking you… "

"Stupid idiot. I’m not even reading the rest of that."

"I’m going to use my critical thinking to figure out how to have my husband offer to remodel the kitchen."

"And polite. Don’t forget polite." (WHAT??)

"You are despicable and intolerable."

"you’re going to need a few more bitch lessons before you try to mess with me, hussy."

I don't feel like I need to comment any further. Ann's comments speak for themselves as to her own state of mind.
