It's true that historically, endless celebrations, feasts, jousts, routs, masques, and other entertainments were often held, both before and after the wedding. And this was true of both rich AND poor people. You were supposed to blow your budget, high or low, and eventually the invitees would reciprocate.
I agree that it's completely problematic to have that video and show it, tweet it, etc.
If you are calling CPD to report this Vine? You are not the victim. And no, the vid isn't necessarily proof a crime has been committed.
Ha!
That's exactly it. I don't need for everyone I know to hear/see what I say to my husband, but that seems to be a minority opinion.
I don't think it's superior so much as it seems like a performance. But I'm an old. I still have a clear division between my online life and my offline life. I don't get why a lot of things are posted online.
This is actually really upsetting. I thought I was conditioned enough to sexism to be encouraged by it to do something, but this kind of stops me in my tracks. It seems like a huge, insurmountable problem. This is billions of web searches culminating in women being demoralized and dehumanized. How to you even begin to…
Who said I took them seriously? Even though I know the comment was ridiculous it still hurts when a family member tells you you're going to hell, even if you don't believe in said hell.
I get what you're saying, but your original comment seemed accusatory and I felt the need to point out why someone who doesn't want…
You respect other people's choices like this:
Well if its any help, your points about the DIFFERENCES were right on. Amazing how they could be seen as the same thing. But when someone response seems to be so thick then I join you in "fuck it, I don't have the energy" mode.
How is it not much better? Men need to feel needed, women need to be put in their place. Men need to ejaculate, women need to know their place. Men need to grow up, women need to be controlled. Men need to cheat, women need to be disciplined. Only one of those has a pattern of control, oppression and violence.
Yah, I totally get that all this is true for the author and that's fine, but my decision to not have children was not a rejection of growing up. I have my finances, career and relationship as in order as many of the people I know who have kids. I have no interest in going to bars 4 nights a week and I love vegetables.
You'll learn OH The Magical Things Will Happen to Straighten Out Your Life. In fact, trouble with debt? Get pregnant. Irresponsible? Get pregnant. Unclear relationship? Get pregnant. Problems with filing your taxes? Get pregnant. Kitchen sink clogged? Get pregnant. See, there are advantages ya see. And she is here to…
Next we'd like to hear from you on the war on Christmas. Now that you've got the war on "Babies make everything better" handled. Non-existent, of course.
People like to pretend that having kids makes you magically more mature, responsible. Can't say that for some people I know, one of whom still acts like a 17 year old.
and yet every single point she makes begins with "you'll".
Yeah. I was mostly just sad for the author that she hadn't figured any of that out by the time she was 33.
That would explain why I have peas up my nose right now.
When I found myself suddenly knocked up in the summer of 2009, my carefree life skidded to a halt. I went from being…
He's a creepy white middle aged Fox News commentator. I expect anyone who says things like this TO BE a rapist. Can we run his DNA?
