The daughter sounds like an angry vegan lesbian-in-training,

Maybe not. I have a good friend whose divorced parents are both "all '60s" -- selfish, self-absorbed, mom is a feminazi who dragged her daughters to all the ERA/womynz rights marches, totally illiterate about finances and hence has filed bankruptcy, etc. Whole nine yards. But my friend is nothing at all like that. Married 20 years, church-going, good mom. She wouldn't call herself a conservative, but she certainly leans that way. Sometimes kids can grow up to be normal even when they come from pinko backgrounds.

I’ve noticed, in my decades in corporate life, that the people who are paid to be nice, i.e. “Public Relations” are not very nice people, at all. Sure, they look great when the camera is on, otherwise, they have the genuineness of a $3 bill. Thanks.

“Perhaps she could benefit from some counseling to get over her obvious psychological issues.”

Probably not since she was raised by atheist parents.

I’ve never seen a happy feminist yet. They all act as if they had a dried up corncob stuck up their..., well, you get the idea.

Oh, there’s some friction, sure. But my friend just shrugs. She understands she grew up and her mother didn’t, but whaddya gonna do?

In the Army I met a WAC officer named Lt. Col. Birdy Nuckols, who put the `butch’ in “butch dyke”. Not to be messed with & I learned that it’s not only the Marine Corps that has a lesbian mafia.

Nice

Origin: 1250–1300; Middle English: foolish, stupid < Old French: silly, simple < Latin nescius ignorant, incapable, equivalent to ne- negative prefix + sci- (stem of scÄ«re to know; see science) + -us adj. suffix

I am sure the mother is a very “Nice” woman.

The psycho babel/narcissistic tone of this article makes me want to puke.

You have to wonder what it must have been like to have PRAVDA as the only source of news in the old Soviet Union.... imagine THAT drivel being the only kind of ‘society’ news.
