Eight or nine hours is JUST the time one puts in on the clock.

There are literally BILLIONS of women on this planet that would just LOVE to never need to seek employment for the rest of their lives. There's no need to put up with btching and shaming for refusing to do things one doesn't enjoy in their own home.

I have seen men of the type you're talking about. They write slapdash, copy-and-paste code laden with defects.

You would need to show that he is not only actually doing those things (or would if not for "menial tasks") but also that she is not going to be doing those things even if she didn't have the same burden of housework/childcare. Your entire position assumes that he would do that (rather than leisure activities) if not for the chores.

Not true. It depends on a lot of factors. Not one of us would have blamed my mother for filing for divorce after what my father did to her. Age and level of understanding of the situation is definitely a factor here.

It's "nerdspeak" to use "boundary" instead of the s-word?

As an added bonus, she could even see if the guy has so little self-respect that he gives her a ride to a date with another guy. On one of her platonic dates, she can even ask her Friendzoned guy about how dangerous is it to miss a day's birth control then answer "whew", that's good to know; I was worried.

From the Red Pill (Reddit) Glossary ***[And I highly recommend that contributors to this thread take a few minutes to educate yourself. Not kidding.]:

Friendzone - See Orbiter.

Orbiter - Also known as Beta Orbiter. A beta guy who accepted the proposal to "just be friends" from a girl he has oneitis for. He will stick around her and constantly validate her whenever she requests it. Also known as "friendzone." She will keep him around because he will do anything for her and provide validation, giving small hints that he might eventually win her love- but he never will. Typical signs of orbiter status: likes and comments on new facebook photos. Go-to guy when girl has problem with boyfriend. Also known as emotional tampon. https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRedPill/..._and_acronyms/

I installed the lock and reminded my wife that I pay the bills.

I'll bet you did. Never hurts to remind the little woman of that.
