WTF Stories of the Week

JWBear - what do you want me to say?

It's not my fault I can talk about my spouse. I agreed with you that you should be able to. I voted no on 8. I got into arguments... er discussions at work over the subject with coworkers. I had heart to heart talks with my kids because her friends were saying Yes on 8 and I wanted her to understand what that really meant - and in the end - she actually agreed with me. (and for my 14 year old to agree with me on something - well - it feels like an accomplishment sometimes.)

Would you prefer I not discuss my spouse? I have never expressed that you shouldn't do the same. I think you should! And I'm sorry that people have made you feel badly about doing so.

I am not society as a whole but it sure feels like you're making this double standard all my fault.

You’re post pushed one of my buttons, and I apologize.

I would never expect to not talk about your husband. But please keep in mind that, when you do, you are bringing up your sexuality. It’s a good thing, and more power to you.

You, personally, are not to blame for the double standard. I never said that. All I ask of anyone is to keep in mind that it exists, and to not feed into it.
