Misogynist McMillan Is at It Again - Why You're Still Not Married →

stfumarrieds:

Ah, you sad, pathetic little women, this is why you haven’t fulfilled your life’s purpose! 

Is this supposed to by funny? Satirical? Ironic? Because it’s none of the above and it reads like something written as an etiquette manual for the women in Don Draper’s world. There’s so much wrong with this article that it’s hard to know where to begin but I’m going to pick a place and go with it.  

1. Having a religion or a spirituality has fuck all to do with being capable of kindness, empathy, commitment, or love. The discrimination against atheists and secular humanists has got to stop and it won’t stop until people start recognizing it and calling it out each time it happens. Seriously, Tracy, fuck you. You’re a bigot. Enough said. 

2. I know plenty of people who are overweight, in debt, or have an addiction and are still happily paired off with another person. To quote Chris Rock, “Two crackheads can stay together forever.” There are plenty of imperfect, damaged, and even toxic people who find a life-mate. Sweet Jesus, that McMillan piece of work found three men willing to marry her, and if she can find someone to overlook her arrogance and conceit then anyone can find love. 

3. Demanding gender normative behavior and slut-shaming does nothing but perpetuate outmoded values plus it completely overlooks diversity. There are people, both men and women, who love assertive, or even aggressive, mates. They seek them out. There are plenty of people whose long-term relationships grew out of a hook up. That doesn’t mean that it serves you to actively pursue a relationship with someone who’s obviously just not that into you, because that clearly serves no real purpose. But if that’s what she meant that’s what she should have said instead of ragging on women who have the self-confidence and self-knowledge to know what they want and go for it. 

I’m sure I’m missing plenty so please continue to rip McMillan a new one in the comments and in any reblogs. Find faults in her thinking and holes in her logic! They’re there and they’re plentiful.
