"If attitudes don’t shift, a political dating mismatch will threaten marriage," declared a recent headline of a Washington Post column by the editorial board.

Seems to me like Trump voters need to shift their attitudes.

Right? In what world do we blame the people choosing not to marry assholes than the assholes themselves?

Everyone remember this post next time you find yourselves wondering where incels got the idea that they're entitled to women's affection without any effort on their own part.

That bit you quoted shows just how entitled and out of touch the phantom writer is. Who the fuck cares if marriage is "threatened"?

Pretty sure there's tons of people living happy lives without marriage. It's not the 1950s anymore and that doesn't need to be the ultimate goal for everyone.

Threaten marriage...

Why the hell should we protect marriage like it's an animal in danger of going extinct? It's just a custom. I know a lot of people who have neen together for over a decade as a couple perfectly happy to never marry and they are often the strongest and most long lived couplings I know.

Shouldn't we just be advocating for the happiness of people and not whether or not a bit of legal paper is signed as a meteic of success?
