Society is a Crock of Shit

Typically, I'm not especially anti-society. I'm not a big subscriber, but the way I see it, if it floats your boat, go buy into it.

Today, however, I have an issue with people. I'm having trouble dealing with people's perceptions of marriage. Let's start with lesson #1, which should be obvious, but is apparently being completely erased by societal pressures: MARRIAGE DOES NOT DEFINE A PERSON'S WORTH. Whether or not "he's proposed to her" does not reflect her worth, his worth, or, believe it or not, you. If one or more of the INDIVIDUALS in that particular couple have the desire to put their dedication to each other on public display, they'll decide to do that all by themselves. In other words, your confusion and thoughtless comments should not play any role. Oh, here's another tip: women, contrary to popular belief, are fully capable of speech. They, too, could ask The Question. Goddamn that ridiculous question.

"Hey, my friends, your parents and that one kid think we should get married, so, what the hell, what do you say?" Now there's a great basis for a relationship.

Attention public: I am wonderfully happy being single. I'm also happy with a partner. I'm not fucking WAITING for a partner to propose to me. In fact, I'm sickened by people, especially women, who wait for men to propose to them. If you want to get married to someone in particular, fucking ask. I wish the world would get over some of its social stigmas. BLARGH!

I think my arch enemy might be the typical southern belle, whose very worth seems to depend on her husband. Some men are great and all, and I certainly love Nathan, but come on women. When are we going to realize that we're completely second rate by choice??
