Yes it is true, "Funny thing is, while listening, if I ever say anything bad about the loser boyfriend, they've all responded with something like "but, he's a really good guy"" I've heard lots of stuff like that myself, and not always from strippers either.
On the other hand though, there are reasons why a large portion of the population is marginalized. Chalking it up to individual inadequacies goes nowhere.
I don't engage with people who talk about drug and alcohol related stuff, whether they be men or women. And then once they find out that I am like that, they usually get pissed at me.
What was it a while back, @Shailynn called me a Buzz Kill. I had to look that up in the Urban Dictionary myself. I am honored by that.
There are people out and about who call me the Anti-Christ, who say that I am Satan, and that I am going "straight to hell". There are others who shout the Hitler Salute at me.
This does not mean that I judge people by social conformity and the self-reliance ethic, nothing of the sort.
I reject passive conformity, the doing what you are supposed to do. And I also reject cultural conformity, the alcohol and the drugs.
I don't go along with any of it. It is going to take a consciousness change for our society to move forwards. Its going to take a revolution. We all need all of our wits. Again, there are reasons why so many people are alienated, and then also why so many people can't face life with chemical mood alterants. Some of these chemicals are doctor prescribed to keep people in line, and some the people prescribe for themselves. I don't go along with any of it.
