Singlism

From NRO via Ace c/o the Susan Olsen News Feed – Introducing Singlism.

Move over “racism” and “white privilege” — “singlism” and “married privilege” are the new kids on the politically correct block!

According to Bella DePaulo and Rachel Buddeberg, the singles activists and authors who wrote a Truthout.org piece titled “Do You, Married Person, Take These Unearned Privileges, for Better or for Better?,” discrimination against single people is a problem so huge that it’s actually “jarring” that our culture doesn’t talk about it the way it talks about racism and sexism. …

The piece defines “singlism” as “the stereotyping, stigmatizing and discrimination against people who are not married” and “marital privilege” as “the unearned advantages that benefit those who are married,” an “emotional privilege” where “other people express happiness for people who marry but pity for those who stay single.”

So if I understand the problem correctly… in the era of gayquarius where almost anyone can find a place to legally marry anyone of any sex in a nation of hundreds of millions of people you can’t find a single person willing to put up with your “unique personality” long enough to want to marry you?

Have you considered “marrying” each other?
