My favorite (tongue in cheek) comment, specifically about (gay) marriage is that LGBTQ+ people should have the right to be just as unhappy as the rest of us, in marriage.

While not so bad now that they're legally allowed to marry, this joke was kinda cringey before then. "Sure you don't have the right to marry who you love like most people do, but 'wife bad', amiright??"

I think the joke is 'spouse bad'

Youre the one who put a gender on it

I can't say for sure, but I suspect that it's mostly hetero males who make this joke. Just like the many "wife bad" boomer comics.

It's was only hetero males getting married in the past... The fuck you on about? Are you just trying to find something to be offended by?

Thanks for replying to this. I'm not in Lemmy nearly as much as I would like.

I just want to note that the comment you replied to is wrong. Call it a quirk of my personality, but I like to ask the opposite of what's expected. The example I gave in another reply was walking in to a room where people are watching sports, instead of asking "who is winning?" As most would, I instead ask "who is losing?". The information is the same either way, provided you know who is playing, stating the loser implies who the winner is.

I don't mean to imply all marriages are unhappy, I just simply flipped the script, so to speak, and instead of saying they have the same right to a happy marriage, I say the opposite, not because I think they're doomed to be unhappy in marriage, but because people usually expect an implication of everyone being happy in marriage.

I think the reason I do this is because it makes people think about their response more than if they're asked what people expect them to ask. But IDK, I'm no psychiatrist.

Either way, I appreciate your comments here, and I wanted to leave you a note to say so, and provide a bit of information. I hope you have a great day.
