Marisa. George. And Marriage.

I hear it almost all the time.

What's wrong with you? Why aren't you married with children yet? You're just too picky about men. Find one and settle down.

First of all, there's NOTHING wrong with me.

Second, I have NO idea why I'm not married with children yet. Well, except for the third point.

I'm not picky about men. Really. I know people may think I am, but the truth is, I settled once and I won't do it again. I'm not going to settle for Lancelot when it is Galahad I want. Why should I?

Ever since there was a society, women have always been the ones that have been asked why they weren't married. It is always the woman's fault that she's not married. And I have always wondered why.

Why isn't anyone looking at George Clooney, asking him those same questions. George, what's wrong with you? Find yourself a good woman and settle down and have some kids, for crying out loud!

It's okay with society if George Clooney says he's the "Ultimate Bachelor", but Marisa Tomei says (and I AM quoting here): I'm not that big a fan of marriage as an institution and I don't know why women need to have children to be seen as complete human beings. and she is being CRITICIZED! WTF?

Why is it okay for men to not be fans of marriage and kids, but not a woman?

I'm not saying that all women need to burn their bras and become men haters. I wish I was married with kids, but here is what it is: I'm pretty happy, despite some days. I have no one else to be responisble for, and being unemployed and feeling down a couple days out of every couple months , means, if I want to sleep all day, I can on those days.

I can come and go as I please and not check in with anyone (out of politeness).

I am a fan of marriage, but it is not necessary in my world. I am a completed painting. I'm just missing my frame.

I don't need a man to complete me. I need a man to compliment me.

And, apparently, there's something that society fears from that.
