As it's February 29th, I as a woman am apparently
allowed to propose marriage. Surely not! If a woman proposes, doesn't the universe become cosmically unbalanced? So, wait a minute - does this mean that
he'd be the one wearing white to belie his virginal status, and his mother would give him away so as to relinquish ownership of
him to
me, and
he'd take
my name? Or does it all go back to normal after February 29th? Well... at least it'd mean I'd reached the highest honour a woman can aspire to and attached myself to a man.
You know what? That's a great system. Let's just go all the way and say women can
vote one day in every four years, and women can
work one day in every four years, and everything! It's not ideal, but it's better than what we had a hundred years ago.
I'm sorry, but that so-called "tradition"
really pisses me off.
Edit: Weeeey! 600 posts!
