In all fairness to http://www.andtheylivedhappilyeverafter.com

She also has an article defending same-sex marriage.
I admit that at first I was ambivalent about the issue, thinking that it was, perhaps, yet another attempt by a fringe group to redefine the institution of marriage to suit their particular circumstances, similar to the advocates of common law marriage.
But then I realized something. Same sex couples aren't trying to redefine marriage at all. They love it just the way it is. They simply want to be included in it, and allowed to share in the joy of it along with their heterosexual counterparts.

She also disagrees with the "Surrendered Wife" deal.

But then comes back to, "cutting off your long hair means you're going to divorce your spouse".
Women know how much men love their hair, and so when they cut it all off they are effectively cutting men off, from their beauty, from their attractiveness to them, from their love. It's a clear gesture of defiance, or dissatisfaction, or despair, a spiteful kind of emotional kick in the balls.

Hmmm, my hair is halfway between BSL and waist-long. Everyone (including me) thinks that it looks better short. For now, I'm having fun with it long, but I strongly suspect that I'll get tired of it having it long, eventually, and will get it cut. No divorce symbolism, any more than the previous times I've let it grow and then gotten it cut short. May be true in some cases, but is a really silly generalization.
