Marion: “I don’t agree with this. You’re generalizing women.”
Yes, I’m generalizing. Hence my use of “IN GENERAL TERMS” – in capitals, no less. There are exceptions to every rule.
Marion: “In today’s world, there are those of us who don’t care what our significant other makes. I’m one of them… Not only do I not need a man to provide it for me, but I don’t want him to.”
I find this rich in irony considering your initial post. Consider this: Would any man – I repeat, any man – even consider posting anything in even the same galaxy as what you wrote in your initial post here? That’s a rhetorical question.
Marion: “And what’s this about kids being a bad idea? I guess we should let the human race die out then.”
I’m indifferent to the human race. Don’t get me wrong, I greatly enjoy being a human and don’t want other humans to die out while I’m still alive. But, in the big picture, humans are nothing more than the species that happens to be at the top of the food chain on planet earth at this moment in time. In the whole scheme of the universe, humans are… well… quite irrelevant. Thus, the extinction of the human race – which is inevitable at some point – is no big deal to me. Although I sympathize with your view – it’s common for members of a particular group to mistakenly overemphasize their own importance as part of a greater whole.
