I really, really, really tried to read the whole rant but I couldn't even stomach the rant because the whole 'surrendered thing' just wanted to make me hurl my breakfast all over the keyboard.
I also googled 'surrendered single' and found that website. My upchuck reflex is being severely challenged again.
I have HUGE issues with the surrendered single thing:
How is femininity compromised by honesty? By being who you are? Why is being sure of myself and confident in who I am a turn off? To bolster the ego of a guy who's not? Why do I need to violate my integrity about who I am for a man? Why is being on my own such a terrible thing? Why can't people see that respecting others and treating them courteously does not mean being a doormat?
We're just creating a whole bunch of 'beloveds'. (You know, from the Women's Room). We disempower ourselves, make them think they're hot shit and then we'll wake up one day and find them proud and cocksure and insufferable and realise we've created these monsters that we can't live with.
