Awful: Quite glad this person doesn’t get to decide what constitutes a “normal” life:

While people may privately get on quietly with their own preferences in life, this article is an affront of most of us in society. Our age-old inheritance, our culture, our Judaeo-Christian heritage means that officially, at least, the definition of a Family is not open to discussion.

Some of you might reiterate that even today, among certain off-beat sects of both Judaic and Christian cultures, there are menage a trois models and so on. Indeed, as I started, privately people may get on with their preferences.

We must bear in mind that in these seemingly lovey-dovey arrangements, invariably it is the women who get side-lined, maltreated and so on, in due course. Prudish though it may seem, I’m of the belief that if two people cannot agree to make a normal life together in the context of bringing up a family, then they needn’t do it at all.

Remember that there nigh on 7 billion people on Earth today. This selfish, egotistic, Bohemian style existence is not at all welcome at all. If people who cannot, for any reason, commit to setting up a unit with one other, they should dedicate their life to one or more of very edifying causes – whether professional, musical, artistic or whatever.

Bastardising society will only lead to some new Sodom and Gomorrah.
