Christmas Traditions

Christmas is filled with traditions.  We're all familiar with the regular traditions, but there are lesser known ones such as the viewing of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase.  I love the squirrel scene:

There are other Christmas traditions as well.  I don't experience this every year, but there is the tradition of one or more people my parents' age (not my parents, that's a different story) asking if I have a girlfriend.  I love how telling them I don't have a girlfriend.  It makes them squirm because they can't deal with the idea of a MGHOW instead of following the standard life script (tm).  (Plus, I'm not going to tell them about how I had two girlfriends at the same time.)  Women my parents age are especially mortified at the idea that I'm single because it means no woman is able to sink her claws into my money (and they have no idea what the real extent of my assets are).  Why shouldn't they be pissed at the fact that I'm living in paradise?

Since I travel to my original undisclosed location for Christmas, there is also the tradition of seeing (or hearing about) friends and acquaintances I wouldn't see/hear about otherwise.  Sometimes that leads to finding out about a story like which I'm going to tell you about.

I heard about someone I really don't know that well.  This guy is around 10 years younger than me give or take so we were never friends or anything like that.  He's in college now, and I heard about his girlfriend that his parents don't like.  And with good reason because she's a bitch.  I also figured out that's this girl is a big time feminist.  She is majoring in womens' studies.  I'm not kidding.  She plans on going into some type of social work.  In other words, she will be in some sort of feminist bureaucracy and be a feminist problem generator.  Of course, she doesn't know how to cook either.  This guy is (or at least was) really into her.  He did everything for her from cooking to cleaning to whatever.  She never reciprocated obviously.  Her behavior was so odious that his (somewhat leftist) parents noticed.  Of course, they didn't make the connection between her behavior and feminism.

This guy was actually thinking he was going to have a future with this girl.  Fortunately, it sounds like his dad convinced him out of it.  However, that was only due to his dad making him realize just how much things would suck with this girl since she wouldn't be able to contribute to a marriage/household financially (which is a big deal since a job in his current major doesn't pay a large salary) and wouldn't be willing to contribute non-financially.  (Remember that knowing basic life skills like cooking are oppressive to women.)  That probably solved the problem of the current girlfriend, but it doesn't solve anything longer term since he probably will end up with another woman that's just as bad.  Of course, his parents aren't telling him the truth about women which isn't surprising since I'm certain that they don't know the truth about women either.  (I really don't know the guy well enough to get involved in any way.)

It's just another example of a guy overvaluing a vagina.
