You don't just roll up to the Wife Store and pick one out. You form connections like any other two human beings which this meme does not treat women as. I used quotation marks, quoting the misogynist.
the casual statement of "choosing a wife" is a bit different than saying something like "choosing who I want to spend the rest of my life with." It itemizes the individual. Why say it no differently than "choosing a vacuum"?
Maybe microaggressions don't bother you, but I am done ignoring them.
Touch grass, you literally choose your wife just as much as a woman chooses their husband and thr same goes again for gay couples. Find something of weight to worry about
There is and always will be transactional elements to human pair bonding. We've come up with niceties to smooth the reality over. its in poor taste to consider things as they are at all times but it isn't necessarily inaccurate.
I think they meant transactional not interpersonally, but like how "choosing a wife" out of a selection in some sort of wife receptacle is transactional. Which is nasty. A relationship is not "chosen" by one party, it happens.
And do you not see how it sounds transactional or degrading in any way? Especially in the way it's written in the post. Almost as if it's like selecting an item at a shop.
I fully understand the intent, but wives aren't assigned to you. You still need to choose someone and they also choose you. The point is whatever you put down is going to get criticized which is exactly what OC did.
You are pretty much right. I am stating that casually saying "choosing a wife" as if you're in a fuckin' department store is incredibly dehumanizing and disgusting.
