How to Train a Husband

How is this a disgrace? Men should not exspect us wives to clean up after them. I dont do it with my three year old so why should i do it for a 34 year old. Also why is it that us ladies have to take the back seat and let them drive all the time. We're in the 20th centrey.

i think this is a very good point to bring up with training your spouse. I myself do the same thing and he listens to me more even when im just takling to myself. My husband is very good at cleaning up after himslef and also after me now. I work six days a week and cant always get to the dishes right away and he will do them without me even asking. This takes some of the stress out of the relationship and puts my warmth and feeling of goodness back into it.

I just wanted to say that I think this article is a disgrace. I am a woman and I agree that woman have gone way too far in the equal rights quest. It is time we sat back and reevaluated what we really want out of life. For instance, my husband and I have a good relationship. He's the boss and I'm his helper. (I can hear the feminists screaming already, including my mother.) Why is that so terrible. Why is it that the men need to be trained, how about the woman getting some training in treating a man with respect and honor instead of constantly degrading them.

The only reason I think this article is so offensive is because of the way it's presented. If Yarbroff left out the comparisons of men to animals and women to trainers, it would simply be an article about communication. I think the point she's trying to make is, "the key to marital bliss is to ignore negative habits and reward positive ones." Is that such a bad thing? I could see that working for men too.

Bravo Brujo! They don't seem to realize that we are finally waking up.

Jelissa, I am more straight than you think, baby. And I'd be glad to show you, but then again, if you're not in my league, I wouldn't waste my time on you anyway! Dumb broads are the ones that think us REAL men are "homosexuals" because we don't succumb to a woman's every whim and want. I know more about women than you think, darling...and if you think that is what makes me a "homosexual," then by all means keep telling your-deluded-self that. You're one of the reasons we men don't want some loud-mouth, nagging broad like you to tie ourselves down with. You see, you're living in a fantasy world where the woman's rightful place is on a pedestal by the very men that women criticize and step all over. Let me tell you something, baby...the only time I wanna put a woman on a pedestal is for me to look up her dress, nothing more. And if you think that I HATE women, nothing if further from the truth; I like women. In fact, I love women--just not to your standards, meaning "settling down" and tying ourselves to just you. Marriage is no longer what it seems anymore. A marriage is not based on "love" but convenience; you women don't marry "Mr. Right" anymore, you marry "Mr. Goodenough." Women now see us as three things: A human-wallet, a sperm-donor, and a baby-sitter now. If you think I'm wrong, Jelissa, don't go asking men that line up to go see Oprah or the moron Dr. Phil shows, ask the REAL men that are divorcing day after day from women that just balloon up, cut their hair short, limit the sex to them because they "have a headache" or are "too tired" or "not in the mood," and they nag for one trivial thing after another and just can't keep their mouth shut for one minute! That is the reason we can't stick around in a marriage--because of women like YOU. So again, darling--I'm more straight than you think I am...and I can see that in your eyes, I already am a male-chauvinist pig; so let me tell you two words in reply:
OINK, OINK!!
Good luck with whomever you're married to, or the poor sucker you'll be thinking of marrying.

brujo, u must be a homosexual

As the joke says: "What is worse than a male-chauvinist pig? A woman who won't do as she's told!"
Truth be told, when women use this kind of mentality on us, that is more than motivation for us to get what we really want--somewhere else!! If a woman really wants to train us, there are eight simple words that will make us stick around a bit longer--and if you women are even smart enough to follow them thoroughly.
The eight words that will really make a marriage work for women is:
STAY FIT
LONG HAIR
SEX ANYTIME
SHUT UP
Now maybe if you can follow these simple words, you don't even need to train your husband--he'll happily stick around without you worrying where he is or who he's with, because he'd come home to you right after work. But if you think you can "train" us like animals, then that's exactly how we'll behave--like dogs, actually...simply by looking for another female dog to satisfy us whereas you fail! Keep in mind, ladies, that we are doing YOU a favor in staying by your side--not the other way around. The majority of you do not age as the majority of us do; men age like wine, and women age like MILK. So you might wanna think about that the next time you try to influence us with preposterous crap like this!

The author Jennie Yabroff is a SEXIST. Newsweek stop publishing such misandric slop.

Can you imagine the politically-correct uproar if Newsweek had printed an article concerning how men should "train" women?

And in the face of femi-centric stupidity such as this article indicates, is anyone with an IQ above double digits SURPRISED that fewer and fewer men are opting to marry American women?

Hey guys,want to know how to train women?Quit talking to them, a female that lacks conversation is like a fish without water.After about a week with no conversation let's see who is really in charge.

Maybe someone needs to write a book on how to train women since they are the ones who are out of control.We need to condition females to spend less money,quit asking for credit cards,quit asking us to marry them,and learn how get a job.No wonder men prefer internet porn,if I had to deal with this so would I.

Disappointing and disgusting. You women are cutting your own throats over this. There are women in different countries that appreciate and honor their man, and they show it. Continue with this frivolous attitude and eventually you will be replaced.

What? This sexist pig is allowed the time and space in Newsweek? I guess it???s a new low. How could this man hating, male bashing misanderer (the opposite of misogyny) be so arrogant? Then again, this is another idiot from New York (I guess) trying her best to sell books by bashing men. What troubles me the most is the fact that women are now on the promoting end of infidelity, lies, hatred and violence etc. I see the appalling attitudes of female scum bags constantly begging men to respect them while they don't have a clue as to how respect is earned. Its time for men to say it like it is and let the chips fall where it may. Why be nice to these losers. Don't let any woman act like she's doing you a favor. They can be replaced with someone better especially if they play this game (trying to treat you like an animal) with you. We should never respect women until they earn their respect. Fathers, husbands, sons and men should stop this nonsense from the start. We are to blame for not having the guts to stop this nonsense in the national media. What we hear read and see effect the way we act. Women are losing respect by the second as they make asses out of themselves. This is a product of Feminism and I can't stand the utter hatred spouted out by these losers.
