After yesterday's Jane Austen post, this is what I've been thinking about:
Any man who is threatened by your intelligence, your success, or your wit is a waste of your time. I'd rather be single for the rest of my life than have a relationship with someone who felt threatened by how brilliant, talented, and funny I am.
Any tradition that values women based on their partners instead of their individual identity isn't worth preserving. Let's continue to demolish this tradition. Unmarried women are not objects of mockery. They're role models to women who refuse to sell out their dreams.

Why all this focus on relationships? If you feel that it's a point that needs to be made, "I can stand without a man" isn't that undermining the whole argument? Isn't making the argument implying that you feel some pressure to explain yourself?
