Divorce in a down real estate market, causes unusual living situations. Not all basement dwellers are yelling upstairs to their mom to bring down "MEATLOAF! NOW!!!" Many maybe... I provided my own meatloaf thank you very much.
But I agree with your rant. Most any basement-shaming pejorative is just an ad hom and not addressing the argument at hand.
Why should I care even if someone was paying your bills for you? To me, it is a matter of consent, not your gender, and if you are supported, that is one less unstable person society has to worry about. And if you are having your needs met, paying your own bills or someone else paying them, either way, that means less dependency or no dependency on government, and that is a benefit to all tax payers.
