I desperately feel like I am selling out. Feminist shame. but why couldn't I be a femmie and married? I doubt all feminist feel marriage is anti feminist, because feminist (at least this one) are not man hating. Such a misconception. I hate somethings men do to women, but I do not hate the male species. I love my son and future husband, because he understands my beliefs and my son because I will definitely teach him all my feminist ways. In which i will be thanked by his future wife or husband, which ever. As long as my son is a respectful, kind and tolerant and understanding human being, I can not ask for me. Speaking of that, I was asking what if Dylan got older and discovered he was gay (discovered because I firmly believe no one chooses to be gay,as I did not choose to be straight). I told them it simply would not matter to me. I would be scared for him, because even though it is the 21st century, people are still ignorant and homophobic. I would worry about his well being, but I would be supportive and I know Stephen would be. And I would be PROUD. Because my son would be brave enough to live his life. Which alot of people find hard to do.
I guess this post had nothing to do with weddings.
Listening to Ida Maria "Oh My God" hehe.
Night!

I don't think getting married or being married is anti-feminist (there are things surrounding the tradition of marriage that are anti-feminist though). And that's awesome that you will raise your son with strong feminist beliefs - if only there were more moms out there like you!
Anyway, there are lots of benefits a couple gains by being married, so I will be joining the marriage club in the next year or so as well.
