Now I am sayin' she's a gold digger.

Now I know some of you must be wondering where I find a lot of the stuff I put on this blog. The answer is StumbleUpon, the greatest thing to come around on the internet in a long time. Most of the time, it's generally the stuff that makes me really laugh hard that makes it though to me posting it. But there are other times that things make me particularly angry, as it the case today.
For you see, I stumbled upon one of the hot button topics in my life: neo-feminism. I understand that women are still heavily subjugated and everything, and for the most part I am completely in agreement with their cause. A woman's right to choose, the obsession with beauty, and everything in between are things that I consider myself part of supporting the cause of.
On the other hand, I will occasionally run across a "strong" woman who thinks that she has to have a man with money, rather than to be in love. This defeats the entire purpose of feminism, just as a man marrying a woman for her looks rather than her intellect and compatability defeats the entire purpose of marriage.
The article I am going to provide argues that it is right to marry the provider, rather than the soulmate...huh? That makes no fucking sense whatsoever, because women can fend for themselves. Look at all the single moms that make ends meet, that's a strong woman. Look at the businesswoman who puts her career before her love life, that's a strong woman. Look at the female doctor that understands (especially during their early years of internship and residency) that their patients come before anything, that's a strong woman. There may not be a romantic ideal for everyone, but deep inside even the most coarse person on earth, there's a mind that tells the heart to do what is right rather than marrying for the wrong reasons :cough: Heather Mills :cough:.
