Justified? Huh? I said nothing of the sort. Like you noted, people are people. I think you're missing my point and setting up straw-men to knock down instead.

I think the world as we know it is pretty damn impressive. Not without flaws, but not nearly so bad as to warrant throwing out six thousand plus years of social and moral development and declaring it all worthless, either.

What exactly has patriarchy brought to the table ...?

I'm not super familiar with the East Coast in terms of distance, but isn't the Hamptons relatively close to both Boston and New York? Could you commute, at least a few days a week?

Wait... there are non feral badgers!?

That is pretty much what I would pay in rent for three months, anyway. A little more, but not prohibitively so.

overreacting in addition to a complete fool for renting this house to kids in their twenties and not expecting minor damages to be done or people to be undoubtedly 'intoxicated,'"
