I mean, I want to have a very expensive wedding. Nothing that will put me in debt, but a 5 figure party for my wife and I? Yeah.

This is Gawker Jezebel Splinter. It’s always the patriarchy’s fault.

Preach on my friend! I’ve never in my life (I’m about 40) known even one man to say (any permutation of) “I can’t wait to spend $3k-$10k on an engagement ring and then another $2k-$5k on a wedding set!”.

Being critical of middle class people who have started saving for retirement at a young age is not a good thing.

why are you such a despicable hoarder.

Having no debt and about $27k in various bank accounts/stocks, I’m in the top 20% and I’m still a broke ass 27 year old, wow.

Based on the Prophet married a child, I’d imagine they’d be okay with it. 

pointing out the absurd trusim that keeps getting floated like it’s absolute truth set in stone where there are only positives.

It’s a trope, and a stale one at that.

“Mommy, why is the lady wearing that cloth on her head?”

Does it matter? It’s a children’s doll, unlikely to be bought outside its main target market (Muslim American girls)....I doubt it will be having a massive impact I guess...

The compulsion is not from America the country, it is from Islam, the religion.

And get Charlie Hebdo’d? Seems dangerous.
