Re: Cringe thread

Well, by idiosyncratic I mean that they had to work around the ridiculous maze that hyper conservative religious people put up in the way of their sons and daughters ever having romantic interaction with the opposite sex. For example, one of those books was all like "you should take your younger siblings with you on dates so you aren't tempted to do Bad Things like KISS." Or they would have whole chapters on the best way for the guy to approach the girl's dad, only the dad, who cares if the mom approves because she is only a female, to get his permission to assume ownership of, oops I meant marry, the girl. And they would act like anyone who doesn't jump through these specific hoops in exactly the same way they did is doing it WRONG.

Oh, asking for your daughter's hand in marriage is one thing, some people are traditional, but I absolutely cringe any time these days that people treat it as a question you can really say "no" to. Especially when it's for some macho bullshit reason.

Re: Cringe thread

Totally the macho bullshit reason in these cases, because the books always framed it as "the father has the ultimate say over whether to hand over his property (the daughter) to a new owner." I mean, they didn't come right out and say it in those words, but it was VERY obvious.

Re: Cringe thread

I like to believe that the appropriate question is not "can I marry your daughter" but rather "do you want to ever know your grandchildren?"

I remember on Bones when Hodgins was going to marry Angela, and decided to ask her father first. Her father's response was "son, you'd better hope she never hears about this, or she'll kick both of our asses."
