Where’s your sense of humor?

Today in everyday misogyny:

Ahaha. Haha. So funny.

Woman 1: How can I get my stalker to lose interest in me?

Woman 2: Marry him.

Ahaha. Funny. Marriage=boredom; so funny, so fresh, so worth making a joke of stalking and its attendant terrorizing and violence.

    Alternatively

    Stalking=courtship

    Fucked up in a whole different way, and yet still a surprisingly common trope.

    Yes, true. Both readings work.

    It never ceases to amaze me that one of the most popular songs played at weddings and engagement parties is Every Breath You Take by The Police. Far from being the romantic classic it is seen as by most, the song is actually sung from the point of view of a stalker to his victim.

    They forgot to label the one on the right is her mom. Ah, arranged marriages. One of religion’s many glorious attributes.
