Bettina Arndt sucks. I was going to write her an email about how I found her article extremely patronising and out-of-touch, but there are about 150 comments (and counting) already saying the same thing. Her attitude towards marriage is exactly WHY I was so reluctant to get married. I don’t want her to count me on her team. We got married to celebrate our relationship with our friends and family, not because I’m a victim who wants to have babies and needs the law to keep the Snook from running for the hills.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

I just clicked through and read the article. Words fail me on how idiotic/patronising and general sucky (too cranky to think of anything better) btw my partner and I are not married and have been together for 17 years, happy and committed with no intention of separating. stopping rant now (sorry)
Just because *she’s* never managed to pin down or trust a man doesn’t mean the same holds universally true for all women. Projection much?
