Robyn Hood is spinning in her grave.

Actually, the real punchline is the one he didn’t intend: By swatting away the bouquet, he may have just saved her from marrying a complete jerk.

If this is real, it’s totally a dick move.

Yeah, this is going to be one of those stories that he tells where she’s expected to laugh along because it was “just a joke.” I really despise people who frame dickish behavior as humor like this, because it just sets up the other person to seem like an uptight killjoy - even when they have a totally valid reason for…

Let’s be serious here. Her husband is not paying her because she is a “mom.” He is paying her because she is attractive, keeps herself in good shape, and pleases him. Part of that includes being a mother and keeping the kids out of his hair. But, don’t fool yourself into thinking that these mothers don’t all have…

I know I’m not supposed to be “snarking” on other women/moms, and I’m supposed to support everyone’s choices without contributing to the “mommy wars”. But I live around people who are a little like this, and I’m sorry but it’s getting old. No actual wife bonuses. But a whole lot of women whose lives revolve around…

Why are these the only two people present for a bouquet tossing?

How dare you say this might have anything to do with men trying to control women. This guy is progressive and pro-choice and atheist and you hurt his feelings.

you’re making me want to defend the views of religious conservatives.

Gay marriage matters because it affects men. Rich white ones. If a rich white man determines that one of his women needs an abortion he’ll get her one. But the very idea that she should make that determination herself without his knowledge and permission is TERRIFYING!!!

I think racism + sexism is a HUGE part of it. Conservatives hate nothing more than black women, and the black straw-woman they’ve created in their mind spends her time having promiscuous sex, and then alternately having children out of wedlock OR aborting them, all to get her hands on that sweet, sweet welfare money.

Why? Racism + Sexism.

Because a powerful woman in control of her own destiny is more terrifying to the establishment than a gay man in control of his own destiny.

“I’m also pretty compelled by men and women being at the height of their prescribed sex roles.” So, you believe that submission is the default sex role of a female? I hope I’m misunderstanding you here, and this is a big problem I have with a lot of S+M novels. Female submission is always being glamourized, despite…

Abortions. Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea of killing unwanted babies, it’s just that the idea of letting women make a decision doesn’t sit well with me.

Men like this makes me hate men. I try not to be that feminist but I am. And the women who support legislation like this are incompetent. If you don't an abortion, don't have one. Stop pushing your religious beliefs onto me.

Not only does he think women just have sex all willy nilly so they can kill babies, he thinks they just LOVE lying about being raped - like it’s a fucking pastime.

When did so many politicians become pro rapist?

“He does not seem to understand the strategy that will save babies’ lives. We do not agree with these exceptions, but this isn’t the end game. Sometimes, you have to concede a battle to win a war.”

omg I read that as “3rd grade porno” and wondered what kind of fucked up elementary school you went to.
