Chronicling the ongoing intersectional struggle to liberate women — inclusively defined as the legacy kind and the transgenders — from The Patriarchy™, one microaggression at a time.

Woman throws sick husband under the bus for TikTok clout

Imagine parlaying your husband’s sickness into a pseudo-feminist screed on TikTok for content farming — while posturing as if you have some kind of moral authority.

This woman, even while essentially acknowledging that she’s a horrible person for doing what she’s consciously doing — namely, making a TikTok video throwing her husband under the bus — explains that his sickness ignites a “fiery rage” inside her because he makes too many groaning noises, even though she knows he can’t do anything about it.  

Am I the only one that's like this? Probably not. But when my husband is sick, he’s been puking all night. Even if he has a cold, for some reason, the rage inside me is such a fiery rage. And I know there's nothing he can do about it to control it but it just makes me so angry. It's so ridiculous, it makes me so angry... So I slept on the couch because he just moans and groans. He's like noisy when he is sick. And I'm gonna try to be a good wife today. I’m gonna try and get him some medicine. I think maybe it makes me so mad because if I'm sick, like, I still, like, do my thing… If I'm like super, super sick I'll, like, stay in bed obviously… But, like me, as a person, when I'm sick, like, close the door, leave me alone. I'm gonna do stuff to help myself get better and I’m gonna sleep it off. He, like, I think it's just the moaning, the, like, uhh, uhhh, uhh.

Saying these things in private to her husband would be callous enough, but she, the modern woman steeped in gendered entitlement and grievance, can’t help herself: she has to tell the whole world that, in a nutshell, she holds her husband in total contempt.

This monologue, it should be noted, is not something she rattled off on the fly, like some poorly conceived, errant comment hastily spat out: she contemplated what she was going to say, set the camera up for the show in the kitchen, pressed the little red button to record, said the thing she had rehearsed saying, and then uploaded it to TikTok.

At any point in this sequence of events, she could have thought better of the whole thing and ditched it.

But she didn’t.

The more you think about it, the more psychotic it comes off.

In so doing, she leaves him really only two options: abandon any pretense to self-respect that he might have left or file the papers.

Even though I don’t know the guy and have no particular reason to root for him, and one could argue he dug himself into the hole by his choice of spouse in the first place, I wish him the best and vote wholeheartedly for the latter option.

He should probably take the kids, too, because once he’s out of the picture, she’ll be filming TikTok videos about how their cries of pain fill her with “fiery rage” next.

Meanwhile, in Dearborn…

The imam here explains that, in order to discipline a wife who won’t submit to his sexual advances, a man ought to begin with explaining why he is entitled to sex — the reason being that, per Islamic doctrine, she is basically livestock — the next step is to move on to the beating portion of the persuasion strategy.

Something tells me the imam’s wife isn’t allowed to trash him on TikTok for attention and affirmative nods of empathy from her lib wine mom friends.
