Do You Even Hear Yourselves Sometimes?
Some People: I would never date someone with this trait that they can't help but that can be acquired at any time. I would dump someone if they got it.
Me: I hope everyone who says that gets that trait and their partners dump them for it.
SP: OMG that's so mean! How could you say that?! You're an awful person to wish that on anyone!
Me: O.o
Me: ...
Me: So, let me get this straight, you think being dumped over this issue is cruel and painful and you don't want it to happen to you?
SP: Yes!
Me: ...
SP: ...
Me: So... you gonna rethink your position then on dumping someone else over it?
SP: No way! I couldn't handle it if I had a partner like that!
Me: Either it's totes cool to do, and therefore I didn't say anything mean at all, or it IS cruel, in which case you shouldn't be so cavalier about wanting to do it to other people and the punishment fits the crime here.
SP: ...
SP: No it's totally unfair for someone to dump me over something I would dump them for and you're a big meaniehead for hoping that will happen to me!
Me: 0.o
Me: Yes, I am a big meaniehead for wanting people to feel consequences for harming others and for those consequences to be knowing what it feels like to be the person being harmed. That's exactly what I am.
