I'm So Sick of Being Blamed for Being Single

After two recent articles were published that put the blame on women for not being married, finally somebody wrote a piece that actually made fucking sense.

And so we learned how to expect literally nothing from a man. And do you know what happened because of that? We learned to let men treat us like crap. We came to believe that men were doing us a favor by settling down -- because otherwise they would be out spraying the world of willing women with their abundant seed. We were taught to be grateful if a man showed interest in us, and we became fearful at all times that he would leave us once he did. Women of my generation are still the second-class citizens of fairy tales: only now, we don't even have the chivalry or the ever-blooming roses to comfort us in our eternal boredom.

Single girls, love yourself and stop the blame for being single and happy, instead of married to some guy you can't stand. In this society, it seems as if women are more accepted if they settle for some guy they don't really want to be with than to wait a few more years, and try to find the guy they truly love. But yeah, you're selfish. You must be some crazy, picky whore who doesn't deserve love anyways.
