I wrote a really long reply and I liked it enough that I decided it belonged on my blog instead. You can see it here: http://michelerebooted.blogspot.com/2017/

I wrote a really long reply and I liked it enough that I decided it belonged on my blog instead. You can see it here: http://michelerebooted.blogspot.com/2017/09/unmarried-bitches-don-deserve-to-eat.html http://michelerebooted.blogspot.com/2017/09/unmarried-bitche... Thank you for engaging me in good faith. A meaty debate or discussion with someone who is not being an asshole about it is always a good thing and, sadly, not very common.

Just to be clear, I do not agree with the title as a concept. I would like it if you avoid associating me with that statement. I deliberately avoid speaking on what people "deserve" or "don't deserve". I make an effort to avoid ascribing moral categories like "bitches" based on people's personal lifestyle preferences. I'm glad to have had a conversation in good faith on this matter, but associating me with the disgusting statement "unmarried bitches don't deserve to eat" is a manifest breach of good faith.

  There was no intent to associate you with anything. Your statement here will have to be sufficient for clearing up any concerns about that matter. I am not going to change the title of the post. I was homeless for nearly six years. I got off the street earlier this month. I was quite open on the internet about my struggles in trying to figure out how to come up with enough earned income to eat. It garnered me damn little sympathy or support and there were an awful lot of people who were quite ugly to me and accused me of things like trying to panhandle the internet. If the title makes people uncomfortable, well, that is the intention. Maybe you should stop and reconsider your view that gender roles are no problem if you feel so deeply offended by having it put baldly to you that a position that it is fine for women to be groomed to be a wife (from birth) is one that actively makes it difficult for most women to meet their basic needs at some point in their life. Adieu.
