Since When Were Housewives Ever "Real?"


I believe in marriage like Cheney believes in world peace.  Married couples smell from a mile away, and not only a mile, but streaming into your living space while your watching T.V.  No, I don't have a T.V, but if I did, Lord help me, but I would end up watching Real Housewives of New York City, the third episode in the series, religiously.  
Love is a beautiful thing.  Love and commitment is something that we need so much more of. But marriage, or all the marriages that I have experienced, all of the marriages that I've seen have not been examples of love and commitment.
The role of the housewife does not exist anymore.  Nor am I certain that it ever existed.  In any case, why do so many women fantasize about it when it is so artificial and so demeaning?  The Real Housewives of New York are a bunch of crazy middle aged women who have enough money to completely exclude themselves from the real world.  It has become an ironic display of a woman's sexuality, women who are married: Have their "man" can turn against each other.  
I agree with Jean Paul Gautier in terms of marriage.  It has become an ironic display of a woman's sexuality.  


why would we want to get married anyway?  For people to be annoyed by us, or, even worse, be entertained by us?  Here are a couple of people trying to keep this state of union together when anyone can see that this lifestyle does not apply anymore.  I will gladly watch people who have given up all else after they walked down that shimmering isle to give their soul away for money, but I will never understand it.

  1. I like your tone a lot. Your lede cracked me up. But your links are weird! For example you link to Jean paul Gautier, but it's to his home page, not to the place that confirms what you're saying he said. remember links are like confirmation. so it's important. also, i didn't really get "lifestyle does not apply anymore." It's best to say specifically what you're going to be linking to and then go to something really clear.
