Single Men and Bachelors: Feminism is not for you.

[thesummerqueen]

You're only 5 years younger than me.

Here's the thing: I was stuck with a bunch of schmucks for most of my life. It could have been the school I went to, or the area I lived in, but I didn't find a place to "belong" until I moved down here to Charlotte, about 300 miles away from where I lived from the age of 4 until I was 22.

And even then, I didn't fall into a group of people whose aspirations and values matched mine until over a year ago when I fell in with the local atheist group. Then I met a whole bunch of people who were your age all the way up to 10 years older than me who loved to read and nerd out about things.

My point being that you could be a hell of a lot luckier than me at that age and surrounded by people who don't act like shitheads.

You see, here in America being smart is still looked down on, which is strange since we like to ride the coattails of people who are smart and get shit done. Or who are the figureheads of the people who get shit done. While there's a growing hipster trend to accept nerdery, since people are packaging it in more acceptable chunks to the members of the lowest common denominator tier, you still have people like Sarah Palin stirring up that mob of ingrates because the "elitists" are doing something to America...you know...being all smart and shit and having that programming on History Channel and Discovery that no one could understand...good thing we got rid of that!
