politicartoonsI can't tell if this woman is a feminist hero for helping empower women or an anti-feminist for helping spread the crippling idea that women somehow need to marry a man.

The lass selling these is just exploiting an existing market and is an entrepreneur. Hooray capitalism and caveat emptor.

Date: 2014-10-07 12:54 pm (UTC)I feel pretty lucky that our two kids don't have them in the numbered fucking boxes detailing their lives.
Fucking Caligula didn't have as many portraits of himself as SWMBO demands of the children.
No wonder the self-centred little blighters grow up spoiled. What they need is a dose of reality. Which is why the English upper classes traditionally sent the spoiled little brats to brutal boarding schools.
Why can't we just get the balance between indulgence and discipline right?
Not that I'm worried or projecting or anything...oops did I say any of that aloud?

I'm guessing this was made by a man.

Date: 2014-10-08 02:43 am (UTC)I have a LOT harder time imagining the people who would buy such things. Or how ANYTHING good could come of conning a man into marriage via such a tactic.
EDITED TO ADD: Okay, I hadn't scrolled down far enough in the blog when I made this comment. Now I get this. But don't forget, I said "If "Rebecca Robbins" is not merely a hoax or a troll" (emphasis on "if")...so I have an out! ^_^

Date: 2014-10-08 10:16 am (UTC)You'd need around 1.9m ebola victims to suddenly move there to even have a chance. Ebola is pretty darn uncatchable unless you are a doctor.
Now, Measles, on the other hand... that shit spreads like crazy and has a pretty good chance of killing even healthy people.
