Like "When" & "What", you have cleverly reversed the gender stereotypes, and probably garnered some low scoring from your more dense fans. As a male , I must admit to my discomfort with these women, but as a (hopefully) thoughtful and intelligent person, I must admit my embarrassment in recognizing my own hypocrisy. Touché. In the tradition of Jonathan Swift, you've penned a humorous and biting satire. Thank you. You are one of my favorites.
But only one comment ! And on a RichardGerald story ! His stories usually get dozens of comments. Those who like it apparently can't think of anything to say and nobody hates it.

Ps: I thought it was a nice bit of fun.
Unfortunately, I think this story is lost in an obscure category. That's why there's less traffic. Sometimes I don't check this category at all.
But I continue to have this nagging feeling that you're down on men. In a lot of your stories your male characters seem to get steam rolled by strong-willed (read bitchy), manipulative, controlling women. Now you may like assertive, strong, determined women as your lead characters but after awhile it gets old. I felt bad for Robert in this story. He gets used, repeatedly, by numerous women. And Mary's actions and words indicate she's no better than the rest. How did she get him to propose? Tell him to? Why did he propose? We don't hear much from his side of the story except he spends a lot of time hiding from the female population. You could have made the story better by telling us some of his opinions and ideas..
This is "humorous and biting satire"? Bullshit. This is just a boring, pointless story. Sorry, but someone had to recognize that the "emperor" is just standing naked. Fuck you for posting it.
Are some feeling a little rankled that their belief in the "alpha gender" they consider themselves to be a member of has been challenged? Oh My! Sexually aggressive females who are quite prepared to ditch the non-performing, three strokes and it's done, men in favour of someone with the stamina to take them past their limits. What is the world coming to?
The selfish half of the population, who believed that provided they got their rocks off all was well, are slowly being brought into line and taught that sex is a two way street. Unfortunately in some the effect of genetics is harder to break but hopefully they will die out as a result of natural selection.
Hey though guys, it's only a story after all. It's fiction, but worth reading as a lesson on what's expected of you. I loved it.
I would of thought that "Stil" or Robert, would of broken out of his shyness long ago, especially after "boping" so many young ladies.
hmmm, a rare swing and a miss. Kind of aimless, wandering about, no destination in mind. Not clear the reason, not sure the rhyme. Stil you soldiered on to the end, and that is just fine.
Definitely in right category.
Shit fire and save matches.
What a stud.
complain, complain, complain, what won't woman complain about? Boggles the trying figure out how Mary is ging to solve this stiff problem, hmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
Haven’t read all off RGs stories but I’m yet to read a bad one. Nice one.
A fun and light hearted story. A very enjoyable read.
Thanks for sharing. fregen
Well, in the end the priest had some sort of epiphany. Spares me the rant about prejudices.
Stil, the story was a bit contrived. However, it was Stil an enjoyable read. Four stars worth.
