SO I get my wife.....

My wife wants a Dyson sooooo bad. I wanted to get one for her but my mom bought her some other vacuum instead. It's a nice one but it's not a Dyson. I want a Fodera Matthew Garrison 5'er really bad but I got a Peavey Cirrus instead so it evens out.
I don't know of any women that would agree with you, my better half would say those are the words of a chauvinist pig.
It was a general statement.
And it would only be a chauvinist statement regarding the vacuum if the person making it didn't help out with the housework.
Housekeeping is for guys too dude.

I know, I do lots of housework but that has no bearing on what is or is not a chauvinist statement.
My better half has me trained I see.
Fine, then can you please explain how my saying that in my opinion a functional gift is the best is chauvinist?
I were to buy my partner a car, it would be chauvinist?
The way it seems is that you are the one thinking in this manner, believing that a woman would not be able to appreciate a gift that serves a purpose.

Every woman I know says that a gift that has to do with any form of cooking, housework or other menial labor is a mans method of showing that they are inferior in a passive aggressive manner.
My gf loves to bake and cook but if I gave her something relating to either as a gift I would never live it down.
A friend of mines wife always gets cookware from him and she always tells him how wonderful it is and then she proceeds to tell my gf that he is a chaivinistic a-hole. She then goes on to say that it is because he is from New York, what that means I have no idea.
It is unfortunate that she wouldn't see it as you supporting her in something you know she finds enjoyment in.
It would be different if you bought her a food dehydrator to make jerky, if you were the only one who liked jerky.
Anyways, enough of this madness.
Sweet bass, ace lady.
Now that's what I'm talking about. Actually, her Valentine's Day gift normally says "Dooney and Burke". The real ones from a D&B store, not that cheap eBay crap.
For our 15th anniversary, I could have paid for at least 3 of those P's! And all I got was a custom Stammie SC5.
Pretty fair deal for me, since that gift has lasted 2-3 years worth!

Never heard of it.
It worked out for you but never in the future give your wife an appliance as a gift.
You're saying, "here honey this is so you can do your job better".
Can you see that giving her something that says she's a woman and hot is superior to saying she's a good housekeeper?

Especially a Dyson - they REALLY suck!
(I can't believe it took that long to get a vacuum joke posted...)I'm assuming that you included the French Maid outfit along with the vacuum. THAT's a Valentine's Day present...
