Wow Matt,
I told you if you are looking for Peak Oil groupies, Eugene is the place to go, you could have your own harem to tend your organic garden and fetch water...
I told you but you don't listen....
PeakOil is You

"feminine misogyny" right on Wednesday! I don't know why TB is such a woman hater but I've noticed this on other threads too.

Please show where I've indicated a "hatred" of women. I'm simply fair handed. If you are happier believing that every character flaw a woman indulges can be traced back to some kind of deep pathology or is the result of mistreatment at the hands of a man, that's up to you, CrapAttack.
You've confirmed my observation that it's culturally permissable
to analyze men, from a purely moral perspective, but if anyone, including a woman, ever dares to criticize other women, (no matter how even handed and qualified the approach), they are labelled misogynistic, self loathing or etc... Talk about stereotyping!
Peak oil is upon us, times are going to get rough. I fully expect that in the future, all kinds of negative personality effects will be judged very harshly, for men and women alike, regardless of reason or origin. There will be no time or energy to waste on self indulgence of any kind, or those who indulge the self indulgent.

You see, if my husband never indulged me we would not have a garden today.
If he insisted that I conform to his personal vision of the future, we would not have ANY of our Peak Oil preps in place.
He did it because he thought it would be a fun, healthy hobby for me, it was simply a man indulging his wife.
Now my preps might ease our transition, and because he was kind and indulgent he will benefit.
He's also come around to see things differently since then, he's not blind. I always knew he'd "get it" and he has.
If my husband can learn, why not these men's wives too?

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

The original post that triggered this was a while back on another thread and involved a man who couldn't get his wife to quit shopping. It wasn't simply a case of not being able to educate her as to the real dire future we may all face, but one where the woman would surely have bankrupted them both, peak oil or no. I don't think that particular situation was at all similar to your situation that you've just described.
As for the fellow who started this particular thread, if you read my follow up response to his particular situation, you'll see I certainly wouldn't suggest dumping a spouse for simply not understanding peak oil!
When I referred to some people as "a waste of skin"on the older thread it triggered a barrage of personal insults. Having had a MALE partner a couple of decades ago who was completely selfish, spent everything he had and then went deeply into debt, I have an aversion, not for women, but for certain personality types.
