Someone needs to call in and troll...

Quote:There was a time when being a spinster – an unmarried woman of a certain age – was a real social problem. Awkward. Off the social grid. Not cool. Today, in many ways, that’s changed. But not enough, says my guest today, Kate Bolick. She wants women to finally have the full freedom to decide for themselves whether they want marriage or not. And if they don’t, to live full, respected, fulfilling lives without it. No sidewise glances. No disrespect. Spinster pride. This hour On Point: a call to free women from the expectation of marriage.

Shame on us men for promoting all those women's mags and wedding shows to pressure women into getting married. You know how we get with our sideways glances and gossip.

Oh, that Bolick chick. Eyeroll.

She's the mortal enemy of dating coaches everywhere.

It always amuses me to see discussions on the lives of those men and women who are not married or separated and no longer wanting to marry again.

With the men it usually falls into three categories; 1: MGTOW 2: Become a philanderer 3: Work till you die

When it comes to women they want to scream bloody murder about how they're retaking some form of insult bestowed upon them from decades past such as slut, fattie and now spinster.

Its like they're dragging the world into their lives and raving about how good they have it.

I had not heard of her until now, but after digging deeper, apparently she has built an entire career writing about how she is unmarried.

She broke things off with a serious guy at 28 for the failure to provide her with enough tingles.

Well, we still have the term "old maid." Wonder if they'll hijack that one too?

They already have the freedom to be spinsters.

There's no laws against that shit.

It's not enough for them to be allowed to do it. You have to like it.
