Harping on people to get married from up in the ivory tower fails to engage with reality of life in the dating trenches.

It’s really quite absurd how bad it is in DC. There are so many smart professional young woman here and for so many they’re met by a wall of suit wearing conservative lobbyists who think that all they need to do to “get a wife” is be marginally successful in work, “strong”, and not respectful, kind, intelligent or responsible.

I remember hearing all of the Trump appointees being so angry that no one in DC wanted to date or sleep with them. What did you expect to happen? Taking away women's right isn't the turn on you think it is

Trump appointees

I think Whitehouse staffers too

Wait, you're telling me women who work in politics aren't head-over-heels for the idea of giving up their careers to...

checks notes

@dumples @spaduf @megopie I would never dream of dating anyone who lives and works in Washington DC because the culture is absolute ideological garbage. Men like me can be really picky, and it’s honestly funny how third wave feminists can’t handle rejection. Cry me a river.

@megopie @spaduf the irony is that the men they typically want aren’t even interested in them for a variety of reasons. That pattern only gets worse from here as American society continues to come apart.
