“I tried putting some gas on the fire, but it fizzled too.”
I actually find it a fascinating topic (though very sad); if I wanted just to brawl I’d have gone to the religion threads. I have family & friends that would probably make good wives, but the men are understandably reluctant and the women recoild from prenups. Both sides understand the issues, but neither will concede enough to make it work.
The political/moral gap between married mothers and single childless women will transcend every other classification (race, income) because in the end, one group has a serious stake in the future (and they are concerned about it) while the other group has no future at all (and they are bitter about it).
A few months ago a woman I worked with died. She was a nice enough person. She never married and when she died, she left two cats, and others had to come up with the money to bury her. That is what the future holds for the Obama voting single females.
