My fiancee is 36 and decided to change careers within the past two years. He’s nearly finished with graduate school and has a job offer for a position that pays 3 times what I’m currently making as the sole breadwinner. I’m thrilled he changed careers, despite the temporary money troubles we’ve had.

So help me out RedStateBluewoman.

shut up.

This poster is a troll. They regularly post nasty things and I’ve fallen for them as well. Sorry. Glad you made it back on your feet, tho!

Yes, figuring out your life is akin to being a good person and if you don’t get ‘er done before some arbitrary moment YOU ARE A FLIPPING TERRIBLE PERSON. Also, if you do get ‘er done before the arbitrary moment, but you change your mind PUT ON YOUR TERRIBLE PERSON PANTS YOU MONSTER.

Yeah, that asshole, growing and changing as a person as he ages. What a piece of shit.

Wow, you’re impressively gracious. I expected to read “STFU, jerk”. Which for the record would have been a totally acceptable response.

Is there a timeline for knowing what type of career you want?

We got married very, very young. ;) Another aspect of conservative Christianity with unforseen consequences.

Wow. Really? So once a parent has children, they aren’t allowed to change careers (or even jobs) at all? I can’t tell if you’re trolling, or you legitimately think that her husband is bad for wanting to become a teacher.

When Christian people talk about being persecuted for their faith this behavior is the problem. They are being called out for being racist, sexist, ageist assholes who don’t seem to follow any moral compass besides mean girls. Not for believing in JC.

But isn’t that what institutions of higher learning are more or less for?

You can stop speech from happening, or you can meet speech with more speech. Have we really come to a point where university students are so dogmatic that any perceived heresy must be silenced, lest... something really bad?

I’ll say it again: Feminism without intersectionality is just various shades of bigotry.

“Yeah - they did her nothing but favors yesterday. She came across cool, collected, and reasonable, and they came across revealed themselves as nutcases.”

and I realize now this could be interpreted as an ‘all black people look alike’ kind of thing. Please don’t think that, I am seriously bad at faces and names (of all races).

Ahh social anxiety. There you are, I knew you were just waiting to pounce.

Yeah - they did her nothing but favors yesterday. She came across cool, collected, and reasonable, and they came across as nutcases.

The sad fact is that a white dude could’ve blundered his way through the entire event, made one political gaffe after another, and come out still “looking presidential”.

I think this article is more about the changing optics of these many-old-white-man-yell-at-one-woman affairs, not an endorsement of her in general. I have to admit that as a Canadian who is not particularly enthralled with the possibility of a Clinton presidency (for the same reasons as yourself) I was still hella…

Failure?
