I think it's dumb too but it's not an issue that exercises me that much. There's so much that's dumb about the world that's more important and it's not improving either.<br /><br />Interesting observation about the labels, husband and wife, you know I've only seen that used a couple of times in the media myself. there does appear to seem to be some broader reluctance to apply those words to same sex couples.<br /><br />Yeah I get what you mean with the last bit, I'm not great with analogues either.DeadSpiderEyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687178085803686186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969275791981250787.post-66374963341284411122017-11-23T00:08:19.978+00:002017-11-23T00:08:19.978+00:00Well, a chuckle at least.

(Though, if two people of the same sex want to live together, it's none of my business.) The definition of a wife is a woman who has a husband, and the definition of a husband is a man who has a wife. To hear a woman describe her partner as her 'wife', or a man refer to his partner as his 'husband' just doesn't sound right. The whole thing about marriage is that it was designed for two different genders, not two of the same gender. Two wives in the same relationship (or two husbands) seems completely ludicrous. Moving the goalposts is like saying that apples have a right to be called vegetables if they really want to be. No, not a brilliant analogy, but you get what I mean (I hope).Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969275791981250787.post-48886004065036809982017-11-22T23:37:45.278+00:002017-11-22T23:37:45.278+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.com
