I understand their need to get support from others, but this story has way too many things that make the woman look bad.
It's deliberatly constructed to make her look bad and make the man look like he grew a pair of balls. When women tell stories for support they always change the facts around so they look like the innocent party.
If a woman had written the original story, here's what would have been different.
- She would have claimed to have been loving and supporting of him the entire time after his father died.
- She would have said more insulting things about his brother.
- She would have mentioned more about how all the cars were costing tons of money or causing some kind of problem that meant they had to go.
- She would have left out the part of removing the Romney sign. (this one was a dead giveaway, IMO. What the FUCK would a woman report this for? She KNOWS it will make her look like a cunt.)
Sorry guys, I've dated and banged way too many women to believe anything about that story. If that story was true, then that woman is an unbelievable sociopath, even by female standards. Normal women would never reveal anything that could make them look bad.
Granted, I don't have your extensive experience with women, but IMHO, it reads true, from circumstance.
In her first post, she's venting to her feminist harpie friends online about her issues with her fiancé, caused by his misogynistic family and their evil lifestyle. She probably expected to get sympathy and positive reinforcement ('you go girl, stay strong, don't let him backslide into his family's ways!') It definitely sounds like she thought she *was* the innocent party at first. (I mean, after all, she's had to put up with so much misogyny from the family, her fiance is seriously contemplating using her garage space for old cars, and he seems utterly unsympathetic to her concerns about his association with this lifestyle. Then he rides off in a huff, without so much as a by-your-leave.) It seems from the subsequent comments she made (linked by Athlone in the original post) like even the SRS feminazis thought her man deserved a bit of slack, because after the first post she admits she made things worse.
Her subsequent posts are made several days afterward, following up as events progress.
She does go into, in one of the comments, why she is opposed to the cars, that they're costing too much money, etc. She says she thinks it's irresponsible of him to think of keeping them because they'll have to be insured. She also says that before the dad died, dad and son were rebuilding an old car they called a "doose" and now fiancé was talking about storing it in their garage. Her misspelling makes me think this is true, because it is very congruent with her represented persona as a feminist girl who got involved with a semi-reformed car guy and has no knowledge of cars herself. Undoubtedly, she's referring to a deuce coupe, ie, a 1932 Ford, which is a very popular and sought-after car to hot-rod. I don't think a man writing this would have thought to deliberately misspell and pretend complete ignorance in this way.
I agree that the Romney sign sounds over-the-top, but then again, I'm not a radical-yet-still-mainstream leftist; to one of these types, I'll wager seeing a Romney sign or bumper sticker is like seeing a "Vote Hitler!" ad. Heck, I know plenty of NeoCons who would absolutely equate an Obama sign with endorsing Stalinism.
Is the whole thing made up? Perhaps, but I echo previous posters who said that if it is, the author deserves a Pulitzer for artful trolling congruency.
