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!

I think it is because the periods when they can become parents are very different for men and women. Women's ability to give birth to a child ends somewhere in their forties (of course, modern medicine can make miracles making women of more than sixty years happy mothers, but these cases are more unique than usual), and a man can easily become a father in his forties, sixties and even later. So I think men are criticized too, but this usually starts to happen when they are much older.

Thick trolling, very thick! Because in the most Russia people without any good work can't afford to visit Moscow at all. Tickets and hotel prices are over expensive for them!

Yes, very, very thick trolling! :) This person is a master at insults.
