Exhibit A: My Sister

My older sister is a heck of a woman. She's a doctor. She's a mother. She is, in many ways, what many women aspire to be. She's also a cold Bitch, but that's another story.

Now, you're thinking "Okay, you think she's a bitch because you're her sibling, and that has something to do with it..." Uhh... NO. If she wasn't my sibling, she'd still be a Bitch. Those aren't my words: those are the words of my sister's so-called "friends". (Funny how women always rant about other women behind their backs, eh?)

Sister married a NiceGuy. I like her husband a lot, but his interests don't match mine, so we don't really hang-out much. He's got a good, stable job. He's very kind and he treats her well. Okay, intellectually, he's not the brightest penny in the pouch but, I know he has a good heart and he loves his kids and loves my sister. He's also a really good dad. But, you know it's gotta be bad when my relatives OPENLY feel sorry for him. Which they do.

My sister: I know for a fact that she didn't date much in high-school. In fact, she met her husband in high-school. (I estimate that she could count her number of sexual partners on one hand. That fact largely reflects positively on her, I suppose.) Hubby was and still is a nice guy, and she loves him very much.

"See?" You're saying. "NiceGuys CAN get a girl." Well, (this is the point) yes they can- IF they've inherited a SHITLOAD of money!!

Yes, this is what I forgot to mention: my brother-in-law inherited a shitload of money, well over $2 million, but it's rude to ask exactly how much. His dad died when he was young, and his dad (a big-time chemical company executive) was LOADED. I've seen his childhood house, and WOO! It's a doozy- stained glass and Persian rugs up the wazoo!

At the wedding reception, I overheard a few of my Sister's "friends" talking quietly. "Why is she marrying him again? She could've done better. He's a little funny-looking. Etc." Then, someone snidely commented with a chuckle "Have you ever seen his bank book??" OHHHH, now it makes sense!

SO, folks, it's not strictly my opinion. This is, unfortunately, what a lot of people think about my Sis. But it gets better... her NiceGuy is exactly the type that would GIVE her anything she asked for. All she has to do is snap her fingers, and Hubby jumps to attention. I've seen this in action, and I really feel sorry for the man. Her whim is his errand for the day. He is SO whipped. He won't so much as open a cabinet without asking his wife for permission first. I wonder if Sister lets Hubby use the stove when she's not around to make sure he doesn't burn the kitchen down?

When he does something wrong by accident, she berates him mercilessly in her most spine-decalcifying tone. When this happens, I can almost HEAR his balls shriveling-up and receding into his body cavity. Poor guy.

Once, I had dinner at my Sister's house. Much of the dinner-time conversation was her griping about how her husbands' stock portfolio wasn't out-performing the market and yammering on about how she wants the contractors to hurry-up on the back-yard landscaping. Blah blah blah home improvements. Blah blah blah money. Well, let's just say that doesn't leave a good impression on me about her character if that's all she cares about.

Okay, she loves him... but was loving made a LITTLE bit easier by a big gob of cash? My sister is sure on easy street... when she was still in medical school, she got married... Immediately, Hubby bought books and all the things that med students usually get jobs to pay for. Plus, she got a house in a gated community about 10 times larger than she needs, a luxury car, trips to Europe, and enough interest-free loans to start her own medical practice. No sir, not a bad deal at all. I'm not making judgments, just presenting the evidence.

Me? I have to work for every penny I earn. I just can't MARRY my house. No way can I fuck my way to easy street. That's a major difference between men and women.
