Seems like govt. uses marriage to control people too. The tax code would be an obvious example, as would family law courts.
Because the original post said Jewish boys undergo a major ceremony called a Bar Mitzvah. By not mentioning girls, the females were slighted. Very simple. Why do you always have to be so defensive about the existence of females?
And was it slighting males when the next sentence was...? There's being defensive and there's being clear. The writer clearly intended to use a male in one example and a female in another. I would suggest lowering your sensitivity a bit. No one was being slighted.
I have no idea. I am not Catholic, I do not know what Catholic tradition is. If the tradition only applies to girls, then obviously the article did not slight boys by not mentioning them. But if a ritual applies to boys and girls, and an article only mentions the boys, as though the girls had no part in it, obviously the girls have been slighted. I mean, why is simple English so hard to comprehend?
But Catholic boys do go under confirmation and the article made no mention of it. It wasn't slighting either boys or girls - they simply used a Jewish reference for the boys, and a Catholic reference for the girls.
if you had read my post that you quoted and responded to you would know that both boys and girls get confirmed. the article mentions only the boys and then only the girls. seems like something very strange to get all upset about.
marriage is fucking retarded. we're meant to fuck around on everyone. can't fuck one vagina for the rest of your life...that's crazy!
I used to think that. I spent a lot of time messing about. Eventually, you find the tradeoff inherent in monogamy worth the sacrifice. I see women every day I'd like to sleep with, but being with my wife means more to me than a simple hop in the sack.
yeah. i kind of figured that eventually you'd get tired of chasing tail and want to settle down. i was being facetious.
