So what if I am old fashioned? Who ever said old fashioned = wrong? The Constitution is over 200 years old and the values it represents are just fine.
I was married at 18 and I’m a stay-at-home mom and what have I missed from the sexual revolution?
Random sex with guys I don’t really know. Living with some guy who won’t commit to marriage or who can’t afford to get married. Working at some shitty job that I hate for fifty years while sending my kids (the ones I don’t abort) to day care. Risking all sorts of diseases. Not marrying until the oh-so-magical age of thirty because...why? Because a bunch of lesbian feminists in New York and San Francisco say that’s what I should do? And why should I give a damn what some ugly, dried up and used up old hags from the 1960’s have to say anyway? Look at the mess they all made of their lives and then I’m supposed to do that, too?
No way.
My grandmother got married at 18 and had nine kids and she and my grandfather are still happy after over 60 years together. That’s what I want!
I might be old fashioned, but I won’t be 40 some day living alone in some apartment wondering where I went wrong in life.

Rant of the year!
Hey, kudos to you, seriously, and I agree with most if not all of what you said there. I was primarily making a grim comment about a sexual/demographic aspect of modern Chinese culture. And as flip as I perhaps sounded, I’m pretty deadly serious about the comment. They have 10s of millions of excess males in their society. Think about the ramifications of that for a few minutes.
