Leslie Bennetts is one Hate Filled Woman

I agree with Dr. Helen when she says that Leslie Bennetts is mean bastard and that her husband Jeremy is a Saint to put up with a monster like her.

And yet everyone acts as if Jeremy deserves some kind of medal just for making a run to the supermarket. No one has ever suggested that I’m a heroine for doing the things every mother is expected to do. I admit that my husband helps out more than many men, but here’s another news flash: It isn’t because he’s such a fabulously enlightened being. Left to his own devices, he would doubtless park himself in front of the TV like some sitcom male-chauvinist couch potato while I did all the work. The reason Jeremy “helps” as much as he does (an offensive terminology that itself suggests who’s really being held responsible) is simple: He doesn’t have a choice.

I have never read such a hate filled rant that is directed toward someone she supposedly "loves" enough to marry. Also she really lays into doing everyday chores and parenting tasks (scut work she calls it) like they are far beneath someone like her. Why doesn't she just spring for a house cleaning service and hire a nanny so she doesn't need to engage in a life-or-death power struggle over chores. She then doesn't have to lower herself to holiday cooking and remembering to buy mosquito netting for her hated son. This part takes the cake though:

Unfortunately, all too many women are still teaching their children that “woman is the nigger of the world,” as John Lennon and Yoko Ono put it so memorably in a song lyric years ago. And what too many fathers teach their sons and daughters is that men can get away with dumping the scut work on their wives, and that women will grit their teeth and put up with it.

I was just shocked to see her put a racial epithet (via a quote) into an article about sharing chores. These are the mundane tasks of everyday life and not 1000 years of oppression and misery. If you think she has it bad be a housewife in Taliban-era Afghanistan. That is a *real* slave.

I really think that a hateful shrew like this should not have married at all. She would have been better off lording it over her cleaning staff and berating random men then subjecting some poor man to her venomous presence.
