mainstream lifestyles

apart from alternative lifestyles, even mainstream choices suffer from self-centred or worse, self-righteous positioning: older singles amongst married friends or vice versa, the lone committer in a world of happy swinging singles; dinkies pooh-poohing the tied-down pace of new mums and dads versus the childless couple at kiddie birthday parties, and other polarities.

again what i object to is the, and i repeat, self-righteous, prejudice, the need to either tyrannise a majority position as rightful status quo, or defend a minority position as non-conformist independence.

it's all perspective and timing.
