The Ginger Alliance is having none of this bullshit.

Nope. Hormonal birth control makes me more curmudgeonly than normal.

a lot of people don't care about money.

I mean...it doesn't.

so, why date?

principled doesn't negate shallow. So, I'm not saying you should be ashamed of being shallow, but it's possible they thought that because you seemed otherwise laid back and chill you weren't going to judge them on their appearance. Or maybe they consider themselves more traditionally attractive than girls you date and…

I don't actually think so.

nice! so...you're saying that you're shallow?

Who would date someone who values them based on a paycheck? Why would you tolerate this shitty behavior?

...Because it's a response to another article that actually tried to define masculinity in more concrete terms than "do what you feel is right and what you want to do".

I lived in southwest Virginia.

Did you read the article?

what a well reasoned and thought out argument.

I don't think you need to be a body builder to lift half of another smaller girl. My dead lift is shit, and I based for a while. I still spot people my size and above while bouldering.

Dude, I'm tolerant as fuck. But raising a child into a faith before they are old enough to make a decision can't really be anything but wrong. I'm sure everyone thinks they are doing the 'right thing' by their child, including the parents selling an eight year old into a marriage. But regardless of whether or not…

Why does everyone think I had a shitty experience?

What about this one?

Yes, clearly I'm never allowed to talk about child abuse. *roll eyes*

Damn.
