The Joys of RuNet!

How can I ever leave the Russian blogosphere when I receive amusing and thought provoking comments like this! :)

"Странная женщина. 42 почти года, мужа нет. Работы, видимо, толковой тоже, иначе не каталась бы по самым дешевым билетам в Москву. Детей нет. Чего в жизни добилась-то? Русский кое-как выучила, чтоб русского мужчину найти? Так они давно разобраны, у них уже дети школу заканчивают. При этом гонор ого-го какой. Высокомерно поучает, хотя в сущности пишет банальности и глупости. Вам бы к психотерапевту, тётенька."

Btw, I never see the single male bloggers on LJ being harassed or criticized for not being married. Why is that? Is it only shameful for an older woman to be single in Russian culture, but okay for men to remain unmarried and childless? My life is worthless! I don't have a Russian man...how can I survive? :)

Pleasant weekend to all!

Shannon, a couple of months ago I've tried to tell the same to one well known journalist who thinks that women like you are abnormal...)

Oh, thank you for the link! I will read the comments there because I think they will make my brain explode. I see already that the author thinks a woman should be married and having babies by age 25! :) What a horrible conclusion he made in the post that a woman at her age is a "bad character" because she wasn't married and was childless. Shameful mindset! Maybe I will have a child in the next 2 - 3 years, who knows? With modern medicine, it's still possible.

I think his position can be partially explained: he is ethnic Tatar from Tatarstan, and a Moslem (I think) ...

I think I will visit Tatarstan during my journey next month. It will be my first time there.
