Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.

…

Rosemary Urquico (via rosings)

There are few things that I find really sexist and conservative in this text:

- “Date a girl who reads.” - the author presumes the one to whom this text is directed is into girls and into girls only; the author also presumes this is a guy (see the part about the children);

- “Buy her another cup of coffee.” - why would a guy buy a coffee to a girl? why not the other way around?

- “You will propose on a hot air balloon.” why would he propose her and not the other way around? why would anyone propose anyone, as if marriage is a necessary institution for a decent lifestyle…

- “You will … have kids…” - why would they have to have kids (in order to be happy)?
