Lady, if you're such a strong independent woman, YOU can propose as well! Nobody is stopping you!

I admit I proposed to my husband to avoid getting an engagement ring. That reminds me of a secret I should submit, actually....

I didn't propose to avoid getting an engagement ring; he still wanted to buy one. I did insist, however, that it not be expensive! IIRC, it was less than $200.

See, if my husband wanted to buy one, I would have insisted that he not. Along with my personal values not aligning with many practices in the diamond business, I work with my hands a fair amount. A diamond ring (or really any ring with a big stone) would make that more challenging. I'd end up not wearing it a lot, so it seems pointless for him to have bought me something that's essentially a display piece. Plus, even $200 could go to something like travel.

Are you currently using a device with a lithium-ion battery in it? If so, you're actively supporting practices as bad, if not worse, than those in the diamond industry.

Your values don't mean shit. Like most people, you only live them when it's convenient to you.

Eh, the value that bothers me the most is the artificial price inflation perpetuated by the de Beers company. Plus, diamonds are more common than the minerals used in lithium-ion batteries.

Oh, cool, so you're fine with child slaves dying to make your cell phone, as long as the price isn't "artificially inflated." I'm fact, with that comment about how cobalt is more rare than diamonds taken into consideration, it would even seem that you think slave labor makes perfect sense! What a fantastic human being you are.

But at least you're Not Like Other Girls and didn't want a ring. Pat yourself on the back for that one, you big ol' feminist, you.
