I Want a Wife Author: Judy Brady
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1- I belong to that classification of people known as wives. I am A Wife. 
And, not altogether incidentally, I am a mother.

2- Not too long ago a male friend of mine appeared on the scene fresh 
from a recent divorce. He had one child, who is, of course, with his 
ex-wife. He is looking for another wife. As I thought about him while I 
was ironing one evening, it suddenly occurred to me that 1, too, would 
like to have a wife. Why do I want a wife?

3- I would like to go back to school so that I can become economically 
independent, support myself, and, if need be, support those dependent 
upon me. I want a wife who will work and send me to school. And while I 
am going to school, I want a wife to take care of my children. I want a 
wife to keep track of the children's doctor and dentist appointments. And 
to keep track of mine, too. I want a wife to make sure my children eat 
properly and are kept clean. I want a wife who will wash the children's 
clothes and keep them mended. I want a wife who is a good nurturant 
attendant to my children, who arranges for their schooling, makes sure 
that they have an adequate social life with their peers, takes them to 
the park, the zoo, etc. I want a wife who takes care of the children when 
they are sick, a wife who arranges to be around when the children need 
special care, because, of course, I cannot miss classes at school. My 
wife must arrange to lose time at work and not lose the job. It may mean 
a small cut in my wife's income from time to time, but I guess I can 
tolerate that. Needless to say, my wife will arrange and pay for the care 
of the children while my wife is working.

4- I want a wife who will take care of my physical needs. I want a wife 
who will keep my house clean. A wife who will pick up after my children, 
a wife who will pick up after me. I want a wife who will keep my clothes 
clean, ironed, mended, replaced when need be, and who will see to it that 
my personal things are kept in their proper place so that I can find what 
I need the minute I need it. I want a wife who cooks the meals, a wife 
who is a good cook. I want a wife who will plan the menus, do the 
necessary grocery shopping, prepare the meals, serve them pleasantly, and 
then do the cleaning up while I do my studying. I want a wife who will 
care for me when I am sick and sympathize with my pain and loss of time 
from school. I want a wife to go along when our family takes a vacation 
so that someone can continue to care for me and my children when I need a 
rest and change of scene.

5- I want a wife who will not bother me with rambling complaints about a 
wife's duties. But I want a wife who will listen to me when I feel the 
need to explain a rather difficult point I have come across in my course 
studies. And I want a wife who will type my papers for me when I have 
written them.

6- I want a wife who will take care of the details of my social life. 
When my wife and I are invited out by my friends, I want a wife who will 
take care of the baby-sitting arrangements. When I meet people at school 
that I like and want to entertain, I want a wife who will have the house 
clean, will prepare a special meal, serve it to me and my friends, and 
not interrupt when I talk about things that interest me and my friends. I 
want a wife who will have arranged that the children are fed and ready 
for bed before my guests arrive so that the children do not bother us. I 
want a wife who takes care of the needs of my guests so that they feel 
comfortable, who makes sure that they have an ashtray, that they are 
passed the hors d'oeuvres, that they are offered a second helping of the 
food, that their wine glasses are replenished when necessary, that their 
coffee is served to them as they like it. And I want a wife who knows 
that sometimes I need a night out by myself.

7- I want a wife who is sensitive to my sexual needs, a wife who makes 
love passionately and eagerly when I feel like it, a wife who makes sure 
that I am satisfied. And, of course, I want a wife who will not demand 
sexual attention when I am not in the mood for it. I want a wife who 
assumes the complete responsibility for birth control, because I do not 
want more children. I want a wife who will remain sexually faithful to me 
so that I do not have to clutter up my intellectual life with jealousies. 
And I want a wife who understands that my sexual needs may entail more 
than strict adherence to monogamy. I must, after all, be able to relate 
to people as fully as possible.

8- If, by chance, I find another person more suitable as a wife than the 
wife I already have, I want the liberty to replace my present wife with 
another one. Naturally, I will expect a fresh, new life; my wife will 
take the children and be solely responsible for them so that I am left free.

9- When I am through with school and have a job, I want my wife to quit 
working and remain at home so that my wife can more fully and completely 
take care of a wife's duties. 

10- My God, who wouldn't want a wife?

我想要一个妻子

1 我属于被称为妻子的那一类人。我是个妻子。而且，不出人意料的，我是一个
母亲。

2 不久之前，我遇见了我的一个男性朋友。刚刚离婚的他带着一个小孩，他前妻
的孩子。他在找下一个伴侣。一天晚上我熨衣服时想起了他，突然我意识到，我
也想有个妻子。那我为什么想要一个妻子呢？

3 我想回学校深造，所以我将来能经济独立，自己养活自己，而且如果可能的话
，还养活一些依靠我生活的人。我想要一个妻子，她工作供我去上学。我上学的
时候，我想要一个妻子带孩子们看医生，看牙医。我需要一个妻子，她保证孩子
们吃饱穿暖。我想要一个妻子，她把孩子们衣服洗干净，缝补好。我想要一个给
孩子们当保育员的妻子，送他们去上学，保证他们跟同龄人交往好，带他们去公
园，等等。我想要一个妻子，她能够照顾生病的孩子，能够在孩子需要的时候出
现，因为我可不想错过学校里的课程。我的妻子必须得从工作上挤出时间来照顾
家，但是不能因此把工作丢了。这样她的工资虽然可能会少点，但是我能大度的
忍受。不消说，有工作的妻子要出这些照顾孩子的钱。

4 我想要一个妻子照顾我的生理需求。我想要一个妻子把家收拾干净，她跟在孩
子们屁股后头收拾，也跟在我的后面收拾。我想要一个妻子把我的衣服洗净，熨
好，补好还要定期更换，还要保证我的东西摆在该在的地方，我想要就能找到。
我想要一个替我做饭的妻子，而且她烧得一手好饭菜。我想要一个妻子，她定菜
谱，卖百货，做饭，高兴的端饭上菜，然后在我去搞研究的时候把一切都收拾利
索。我想要一个妻子，她在我生病时照顾我，同情我的病痛和损失的学习时间。
我想要一个妻子跟我一起去度假，这样在我需要休息换心情的时间里，也有人可
以照顾我和孩子们。

5 我想要一个妻子，她不会跟我抱怨妻子的职责。但是她能理解我在学术上遇到
的困难。我想要一个妻子，她能把我写好的论文打出来。

6 我想要一个妻子，她照顾我社交生活的方方面面。当妻子和我被朋友邀请出去
，我想要一个妻子来安排好小孩的保姆。当我在学校里遇见我欣赏的人并要款待
他们时，我想要一个妻子来整理好房间，准备一顿特别的晚餐，给我和朋友端饭
上菜，然后别在我们谈话的时候打扰。我想要一个妻子，她在客人来之前就把孩
子们喂饱伺候上床，别让孩子们困扰我们。我想要一个妻子，她照顾客人们的需
要，让她们感到舒适，给他们准备烟灰缸，给他们递点心，给他们加食物，在合
适的时候给他们的高脚杯里倒酒，在客人们想要的时候端上咖啡。我想要一个妻
子，她明白我有时想要在外面过夜。

7 我想要一个妻子，她能体贴我的性需求，在我想要的时候，她会如饥似渴地跟
我激情缠绵，还要先确保我的满足。而且，当然了，她在我没有情绪的时候绝不
会主动要求。我想要一个妻子，她担负避孕的全部责任，因为我不想要更多的小
孩。我想要一个妻子，她对我绝对忠诚，这样我就不会因为妒忌而让我的学术生
活困扰。我想要一个妻子，她明白我对性的需求可能不会让我严格的遵守一夫一
妻的生活。毕竟，我必须尽可能多的和别人保持交往。

8 如果，有机会的话，我找到了另一个比我现在的妻子更适合的伴侣，我希望我
享有换别人做我妻子的自由。我期待着一个全新的生活，我会自由的离开，而我
的妻子会带着孩子生活并独自承担养育孩子们的职责。

9 当我从学校毕业，获得了一个工作。我希望我的妻子能够辞职呆在家里，这样
她能更好的履行一个妻子的职责。

10 我的上帝，谁不想要一个妻子呢？
