The Joys of RuNet!

[peacetraveler22]

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!

yes, here is a shame to be unmarried after 25 and enjoy life as you like.
though, comments like this usualy giving loosers, which are unhappy becouse they were afraid to be out of standarts, to have own mind, life, and enjoy it

Yes, such people are merely slaves to societal norms. A sad existence, in my opinion. Marriage is a beautiful thing, but it should always come out of pure love, not desperation or fear of loneliness.

I am sure you do respect some societal norms yourself - even if not this one.

Of course, and I never said I don't respect marriage. I do. But I don't respect people who get married only because they feel it's an "obligation" or pathway to being a "normal" person.

I agree. Yet, peer pressure may give you that kick in the butt that makes you look harder.
