the glorious 25th of may. were you there?“They did the job they didn’t have to do, and they died doing it, and you can’t give them anything. Do you understand? They fought for those who’d been abandoned, they fought for one another, and they were betrayed. Men like them always are. What good would a statue be? It’d just inspire new fools to believe they’re going to be heroes. They wouldn’t want that. Just let them be. Forever.”

“You can’t turn a hoe into a housewife”

“You can’t turn a sexist, double-standard holding, woman-shaming douchebag into anything remotely useful, nevermind a husband”

Wait, are we saying you can’t turn a ho (as in a whore) into a housewife, or that you can’t turn a hoe into a housewife? Because I support the latter statement. Garden implements make shitty spouses. I married a spade once. The marriage was a disaster, although now I’m a trendy divorcee and that’s lovely.
