One of the worst tragedies in American history

@veronicanbetty69 everything is wrong with generalizing entire groups of people.

@knightschwartz Anyway, replying to your comment (which was sent via email but is not posted here, oddly enough) I really have nothing against stay at home mothers. If they have consciously made an informed decision to stay at home and raise their own children, I'm fine with them doing so. They're adults, they can make their own decisions. "Standing by their man" has nothing to do with it. The problem is, you imply that that is the only option for women, when it isn't.

@knightschwartz I have no idea what a person locked in a room for 60 years have to do with anything. Unless they were fed regularly, thus gaining some modicum of contact with the outside world, they'd be dead within three days. Being single is not solitary confinement. Jesus, contrary to your beliefs, single women and men do not just sit around and mope about the families they never had. I know you want them to, but they don't. Deal with it.

@knightschwartz I know a lesbian couple who are VERY happy together, thank you very much. I'm not sure if that validates your claim, since they're a same sex couple, but let's just say it doesn't since you're probably the sort who doesn't think homosexual couples should share your holy and sacred marriage rights. Also, I know plenty of single men and women who are happy. In fact, several of them were married but found unhappiness within marriage.

@knightschwartz Also, your terrible grammar makes it a little hard to have a respectable argument with you. Fuckin retard

@knightschwartz ARE YOU KIDDING??? Jesus christ go live on an island where you can beat and control your family alone. Nobody here fucking cares what you think. Sure you may hate feminism, but the fact that you believe women fighting for equality is breaking up marriages and ruining families is pathetic. Restraining women to their "stay at home mother" status and keeping them out of the work force is your idea of a good society? Grow the fuck up. I am a man and even I see the flaws in your logic

[knightschwartz]

@GoddessWarrior2012 and none of them regret not having kids? And what do you mean by "strong"? Are you saying stay at home mothers aren't strong? That its weak to stand by your man and be a mom?

[knightschwartz]

@shinobi67 yes, single women for life can be happy. lesbians can be happy. single men can be happy. People locked in a room for 60 years can technically be happy. Yes thats true.

@shinobi67 all I'm saying is that our society has not been improved by this left wing movement. You may think it's great that the family crumbles and people don't marry or do and get divorced in 72 days I don't. You wanna destroy everything traditional. I don't.
