Marginalization & Definition Of: Housewife

I wasn't going to dedicate any time to my new label, other than the "funny ha-ha stuff" I've put on the blog already regarding "housewives" - but, after reading Oh, Irondequoit's blog about it,

I thought I would give my house-wifey opinion on it as well.


First of all, I did find it funny - the fact that I haven't been mentioned on IQW at all until I put up the invite to Joe's B-Day bash. I have my suspicions on why that particular blog struck a nerve, but it's just my own subjective thoughts, so I'll keep them to myself.

I also found it funny that a grown man (I believe there are a couple of guys from the IDC running that blog, but again....just hear-say and I can't substantiate it, and it really doesn't matter "who" they are anyways because they are entitled to their opinion too) would stoop to the antiquated "insult" of the "miserable housewife" label.

Not because there is anything wrong with being miserable, or a housewife, or both at the same time - but that a fellow Dem would throw the "housewife" card.

A Democrat who is supposed to champion diversity, progressive values, and protect the taxpayer would get so upset about my opinions (on a Democrat) that they would set themselves back 60 years to a place that I thought only the most conservative, backwoods, redneck idiot would go to......THAT is what pisses me off.

We don't need "leaders" like you, and you do state that you were "involved" in politics in the past....and I do hope you aren't involved now (although I do believe you are fully immersed in politics to this day, and a bright future ahead as a typical puppet) because "thinkers" like you are everywhere. There's nothing new with you. It really is the same-old, same-old.

You don't like when I pick on Joe - I get it. I don't care that you don't like that I pick on Joe, and I'm just warning you - I'm going to pick on him again. Probably Wednesday. And any other day I feel like it.

I've put up with being called a b****, a c***, and many other colorful things since I started putting MY OPINIONS on here. I'm not doing anything that anyone else isn't doing. There are many Dem blogs that focus on mean-spirited rabble and they have been around for years. I don't see you complaining about them, and I also know that many Dems "connected to politics" have posted comments on a very popular anonymous dem blog that isn't very kind to Republicans. (Rumors and innuendo abound.)

And, ya know what? I am a b*** and all those other labels, and, I AM a housewife - in addition to many other things.

Proud? Hell yeah. One of my greatest accomplishments in life. I can raise my children to adulthood, and see them successful and happy. I can look forward to being a grandma so I can be a "house grandma", and help raise them too. I can change the oil in my vehicle myself. I can build a tree-house that has withstood 12 years of abuse. I can hold down a job and help my hubby with his business. I can take care of family and friends in their time of need. I can volunteer. I can plant a pretty garden. I can budget my household. I can dress to the nines. I can wear flip-flops and sweatpants. I can ride my bike with no handlebars...no handlebars....no handlebars....lol I can cook the grandest of meals or homemade mac-n-cheese. I can change a diaper while feeding a 2 year old and talk on the phone with your wife convincing her to divorce your misogynistic ass - simultaneously. I can master the art of googling and foiling and giving my opinion on a blog. That's how good of a housewife I am.

I'm never bored. I entertain myself with a variety of things. I'm only miserable in the morning before coffee and a shower. I would say I was "desperate" - for some good representation at the State level - something I believe we are sorely lacking.....and your buddy Joe falls into that dysfunctional state rep category.

I'm sorry if that bothers you, but I'm not going to stop "jealously obsessing" over Joe. Not because he's successful (if that's the word you would like to use), but because he is, and has been, a part of the problem in Albany.

I can be a douchebag on here - for sure - but I don't think I have ever been mean-spirited enough to render someone's opinion on politics to "miserable housewife" status.

That makes you more douche-baggedy than me. :)

For all the times Democrats have chanted to "shine a light on government", and "do your homework", and "get involved", you sure don't represent that in your condemnation of me doing exactly what you want me to do. I suppose you only want me to shine that light at Republicans, right?

I can't do that. I won't do that. If I did, I'd be a typical politician, like you.

As for the AIG thing - I would have gotten to 2009 and the refund sooner or later, and I would have made the correction on the blog and mentioned it in another blog. I try to be accurate, but I do make mistakes. That's why I did appreciate you pointing out the refund - that's what people are supposed to do. Share information and get to the bottom of things.

You also have every right to label me whatever you want. I encourage you to keep it up as your right to free expression. But please don't ever think that you, when marginalizing my opinion as a housewife, are ever going to stop me from giving it.

You're going to have to work a little harder than that to stop me from giving my opinion on anything.

Kisses!
