This video was for humor. Who takes this shit seriously? The author needs to calm down...

This is great and all, but deep in our hearts we all know that Marriage is Obsolete.

Oh I don't take the negative answers personally, not at all! I could not function if I took such things personally, especially over the internet.

In the past when I've tried to engage someone here in any meaningful discourse, the response I get is "I am/was a victim of [insert bad treatment or crime here] so I can tell you that...".

You're not beating a dead horse at all, just reinforcing the majority of the answers I've received. But yeah, check out the comment exchange I've had with "s.k.smithy"... those answers (and some others) really opened my eyes beyond the obvious empathy points ("Do you want things to be put inside you without consent?,…

Yeah but it'd get hella ratings, no?

Sorry to hear about what happened, and the response you got. I hope that in the future, we as humans can find a way for both genders to truly empathize with each other, and maybe that'll finally make everyone happy and the violence/hate can stop.

No one is saying you can't be angry. Just find a better target, maybe someone that responds to such.

True. So what phrase besides "emotional life" would cover all the stuff you mentioned?

...how would you feel if this had happened to your daughter?

I'm sensing a lot of anger. You're way off-base... I'm a total internet stranger and I'm not your enemy. But I really can't help you, sorry.

I have enough empathy to know it'd be terrible :(

Yeah I got that :) It's all about the emotional damage. In fact only two people have brought up the potential hygiene and health risks of having someone stick their potentially unsanitary fingers in there.

I wanna add my voice to the "I'm surprised its taken this long" chorus-line. It's about damn time. In fact they should just combine this lecture with the Marriage Is Obsolete theory.

Every month about a day or 2 before her Crimson Tide, my female cousin gets into a big fight with her fiance, and comes spends the night with me.

Your mind is already made up to be antagonistic, so there's no placating or reasoning with you. Take care.

I was thinking almost entirely about the physical, not about emotional damage. Also, I've gotten so much flak for that apparently false comparison, that I will never ever do it again.

Yeah that would really suck. In your opinion, to what extent would it cripple her?

...does not mean shit in terms of emotional damage.

Not lacking empathy, just lacking "deeper" understanding. See my response to "s.k.smithy"
