Man can't win, don't bother trying

If we put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her
from the Rat Race, we're a Male Chauvinist Pig.
If we stay at home and do the housework, we're a Pansy.
If we work too hard, there is never enough time for her and the kids. If
we don't work hard enough, we're a good for nothing lay about. If she
has a boring repetitive job with low pay that is exploitation. If we
have a boring repetitive job with low pay, we should get off our butts
and find something better. If a man gets a promotion ahead of her, that
is favouritism. If she gets a promotion ahead of a man, that is Equal
Opportunity. If we mention how good she looks that is sexual harassment.
If we keep quiet that is typical male indifference. If we cry, we're a
wimp. If we don't, we're an Insensitive Bastard. If a man thumps her,
that is wife bashing. If she thumps him, that is self-defense. If he
makes a decision without consulting her, he's a chauvinist. If she makes
a decision without regard for his feelings, then she is a liberated
woman. If he asks her do something she doesn't like, that is domination.
If she asks him, it is a favour. If we appreciate the female form and
frilly underwear we're sexual perverts. If we don't notice, we're
poofters. If we like a woman to keep in shape and shave her legs, it is
sexist. If we don't care, that is unromantic. If we try to keep
ourselves in shape, that is vanity. If we don't, we're slobs.
