I’m sitting with my 2-year-old. He says, “Mommy, can I touch your tummy?”

“Yes.” He starts poking my stomach.

“Your tummy is fat.”

“Oh, yeah?”

He continues saying in a soft, singsong voice, “Your tummy is fat. You have a fat tummy.”

“Okay, thanks for letting me know.”

He grins. “Your tummy is fat and squishy.” He pauses, looks into my eyes. “I want you, Mommy.” He gives me a hug.

I want you, too, little man.

  1. Are you claiming taking care of your body, the only body the Lord has given you, somehow equals vanity?

    There are some Christians who believe laziness and lack of self-discipline are actually sins that are equal to vanity in the true sense of the word. But I think most logical people don’t equate being a good steward of your body (and time, and life in general) as being “vain.”

    1. Thanks for the comment. No, I don’t think taking care of one’s body is vanity; temple of the Holy Spirit, and all that. My son wasn’t really delivering an informed opinion based on BMI, body fat mass percentage, etc; he just thinks my tummy is fat and squishy, and sees no problem whatsoever with that fact. He loves me and trusts me, and what would in an older child be rudeness was simply a sweet moment between the two of us. That’s all.

        Just wondering, haven’t seen you on the men’s sites recently doing your usual dance for attention, but would you not allow your older child to tell you you’re fat? Is acknowledging something that may be hurtful, in your family, not allowed for older kids? Inquiring minds want to know LOL

      2. Good question. My older kids don’t think my tummy is fat, but they have on occasion commented upon others’ appearance in what I think is a disrespectful way–not intending hurt, of course, but in the frank manner of young children. We’ve had discussions about when it is and is not appropriate to point out observations of others. Sent via the Samsung Galaxy Tab E, an AT&T 4G LTE tablet

  2. So how does your husband feel that you daily go to men’s sites to converse with married and single men while he’s at work? Does he like it?

  3. Dear Anon, why do you go to other people’s blogs and be as stupid, insulting and offensive as you can manage? Small mind, small heart, big ego? This is my first visit to this blog and you are just stirring shit as hard as you can…unfortunately for you, the blog owner doesn’t seem to be at all bothered by your vulgar insinuations and twisting of facts. Keep trying to bait her – it just makes you look like even more of a fool….

    1. Actually, I appreciate Anon’s comments. It isn’t like they’re saying something no one else is secretly thinking. Why are only some women drawn to red pill men, and then try to garner their attention SO HARD like Heidi does almost daily?

      Imagine if her husband was a stay at home dad, and all he did while supposed to be watching and raising their children, was be online chatting up single women and married women at all-female sites where they discuss feminine topics on how to be better women, etc? It would be inappropriate, just as it’s inappropriate for a woman to do so.

      I once saw Dalrock finally address one of these female red pills, and he told her what her behavior was, was a massive shit test only her husband could pass by having the balls to tell her to stop. But of course we know this husband won’t, because even though he’d probably prefer her to have other interests rather than talking to single and married men every day while he’s away at work, he just doesn’t have the balls to “reign her in,” as Dalrock said.

      Believe me, every time she comments, people are thinking this. They’re just too nice to call her out on this type of female sin.

  4. Oh, PS to Vulgar Anon. Expecting older children to keep personal remarks and possibly hurtful remarks to themselves, or phrasing things more diplomatically, is part of raising a courteous human being. You evidently missed that lesson.

    1. I know it aint popular to call it as one sees it. But I guess she missed the lesson from her mother that to be young wife with small children and be daily pursuing men other than her husband, is actually vulgar behavior.

      How sad that so early in her marriage, she’s already doing this to her husband.

  5. Good grief. I don’t know you (either of you, although you could be one and the same). I don’t know the blog owner. I certainly don’t track her through the red pill blog world and then come to her own site to try to shame her and tell her she’s doing wrong.

    I am not a person who appreciates anonymous accusations and insinuations. The first anon twists words and tries to be clever with insinuations. Gamma dude behavior – say things to hurt other’s feelings and hide. And you, Greyghost, come by to back him or her up. And then you invoke the great unknown others to back you up (“Believe me, every time she comments, people are thinking this.”) How do you know? Is there another blog site where you all gossip and chat about other women? And then you bring up ‘female sin’? You have a lot of nerve.

    I have no problem with calling it as one sees it. I’m doing it now. Neither of you (or both of your faces) came here with anything other than cruel intent. Nasty insinuations, belittling commentary, invoking the great anonymous “everyone” to confirm your bleating complaints. I particularly like the sanctimonious “how sad” frosting on this shit cake – like you aren’t relishing each time you try to take a stab at her, her husband, her marriage. Poisonous bitch. You don’t know her, you don’t know her husband, you don’t really know much about her and her life at all, no matter how condescendingly you try to assume you do. And you know nothing of kindness or charity or support. Did you really invoke Dalrock
    as an authority ? (and it’s ‘rein’ her in, not ‘reign’ – dummy).

    If you had been kinder or gentler to her, I would have been kinder to you. I hate bullies with a passion. I hate women (or Gamma losers) who try to stand out by standing on others.

    Hey – blog owner. It seems that at least one person objects to your participation on other peoples’ blogs. While it is clearly none of his/her business – I remember having small children. Some of the best days of my life. I also remember being tired, sometimes overwhelmed, sometimes a little isolated, sometimes wanting another adult to talk to. If you need (or would simply like) to have someone to chat with – you have my email address. We’ll see if we can hold a conversation. Chin up.

    1. None of the prominent men online allow their wives to do what red pill women do, and that is telling.

      Even today I think I saw Dalrock mention that he would never give advice on a subject he knows nothing about. The blog host here REGULARLY corrects Lori over at the Transformed Wife with an attitude of knowing better than her on many topics. And yes, there are entire gossip sites dedicated to following women like this host and harassing her and her husband. That fact alone (which I’m sure she’s well aware of) puts her in danger and all for what? So she can talk online daily to men while her husband is working hard to support her – to BE ABLE to flirt with men online?

      I just don’t see manospherian wives going around doing that. Even Scott’s wife sticks mostly to her own place and is busy with homemaking, which is respectable.

  6. Greyghost, are you over 21? Truly asking. I took offense at the ugly insinuations an Anon made on this blog. You followed up with more of the same insinuations and clumsily tried to mimic my phrasing. Your reason to come here? You don’t like what she says on other people’s blogs. LETS BE CLEAR. I don’t know if any of your accusations are true or not. I just don’t like the way you fling poo around, the nastiness and hypocrisy.

    1. Why is this any of your business? Is she more interesting to your husband than you are? Jealous? Don’t pretend you care about her or her husband. If you did, you wouldn’t have insulted and degraded both of them. You’re just here to try to make her feel bad about herself. You’re here to lecture and belittle. And you have the nerve to invoke God.

    2. “None of the prominent men online allow their wives to do what red pill women do, and that is telling.” How do you know, and why do you care? Why are you here, trying to enforce those standards on this person? Do you know if this blog host and her husbands signed up for the same standards you’re trying to push on them?

    3. “And yes, there are entire gossip sites dedicated to following women like this host and harassing her and her husband. ” If that is true, that is appalling. The fact that you participate in these activities, that you are one of the witches who harass women like this blog host and her husband should fill you with shame. Have you no decency? No principles? Why aren’t you harassing those women, asking them why they’re neglecting their houses and children to gossip and bad mouth others? Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Remember that?

    4. “That fact alone (which I’m sure she’s well aware of) puts her in danger and all for what?” Yes. In danger of you and people like you cruising by to drop a little poison in her day. So you cruise by to warn her by dropping a little hate mail in her inbox. Lovely.

    5. “I just don’t see manospherian wives going around doing that. Even Scott’s wife sticks mostly to her own place and is busy with homemaking, which is respectable.”
    Why do you think this blog host answers to you and your little gang of gossip mongers? Who in the heck is Scott’s wife and why is she relevant? Your world is so small, so constricted, so….crippled that you think everyone knows and cares about the manosphere, red pill men and women and Dalrock, and that they should see things the way you do. And if they don’t, you’re more than willing to set them straight, although you can’t be direct or polite while you’re doing it. This is the worst kind of hypocrisy.

    I’m betting you haven’t read any of this, and can’t comprehend it, anyway. What’s the code? TL/DR – you have the maturity of a nasty 14 year old. Your belong to a group of mean girls. You should stop crapping on strangers, their husbands and their marriages – it exposes too much of your essential immaturity and their lives are really NONE of your business. It’s probably good that you quote Dalrock and ‘prominent manosphere men’ and try to model your behavior after them. You need some guidance and growing up. (note: when they call someone out, they don’t do it like you tried to). Don’t pretend to be Christian, you don’t have the basics down. Leave other people’s marriages alone. If you have a problem, engage the person directly and address the problem directly. IF YOU DON”T LIKE THIS BLOG, DON’T COME HERE. I’ve only been here once, and I find myself squabbling with a child.

    You did introduce me to The Transformed Wife, and that is interesting. Thank you for that.
