Is that tied to the notion that if you *are* married you get
to fling manure at other people's life choices? (Insert
reference to caged, bored simians). Marriage must be
groovy!

[I wouldn't normally jump in like this, but I was provoked by (a)
attending a very traditional wedding this weekend and (b) the supposed
"new face of feminism."]

I, personally, am delighted that the GOP now thinks that
it's wonderful to be a feminist. I'm looking forward to
them actually extending that to supporting feminist
policies.

I've known some people in groovy marriages, but strangely enough they
didn't seem to think that everyone else had to be just like them...

Oh, you kidder. I think this could really be the year I move to Canada.

I'm unclear, tiny, on how you figure your including "old

people making judgments about your life tends to either

Gee, Catherine. All the despicable things that Melinda has called TD,
her many digs at TD's relationship with her husband, etc., and you can
only manage to get your panties twisted up over TD's in-kind reference
to old maids?

How fair-minded of you!

It's just a hunch, but I bet that TD doesn't give a **** whether
someone decides to get married or not. However, she also probably
doesn't cotton to having her relationship with her husband constantly
belittled and ridiculed by a platoon of militant man-hating harpies
and harridans.

In fact, I think it's pretty cool when she tells them to stick it
where the sun don't shine.

Yes, that's just my opinion, but I'm sticking to it.

I didn't see it. I never see anything until the next day... I really,
really hope that McCain actually *does* believe that Palin would make a
good president, because otherwise, selecting her was unspeakably bad.

Do we really need to hear the details of her warped little relationship?
Thanks, but no thanks. I'm definitely not a man hater, assuming that
man is a rational and sane human being. And I sure don't post TMI
type posts about my DH. How crass can you get? Really, she needs to
take that stuff to private e-mail.

I can't believe that he doesn't spend some portion of his time, every

TD's never suggested anything of the kind.

A quick trip down Memory Lane will show you (and anyone else who's
interested) that this all started with your (and Shelly's) objections
to TD's more or less traditional relationship with her husband, which
actually is none of your ****ing business.

I, personally, am delighted that the GOP now thinks that
it's wonderful to be a feminist.

The GOP has always supported true feminism, i.e., equal opportunity
for women.

But given the recent outcry from the Democrats regarding Sarah Palin's
life choices, it's pretty obvious that the Democrats are now against a
woman's right to live her life in the way that *she* chooses to live
it, instead of living it in a way that a bunch of self-centered,
bitter, angry, man-hating harridans and lesbians approve of.

Which is always good to know.

PS: TD and I may even disagree on this, but at least we disagree
agreeably.
