Not that Steve Martin.
A marriage is between two people and their families. It's always personal and anecdotal. Fighting the patriarchy and gender stereotypes doesn't always happen on grand civic scales, it happens in many many boring everyday personal anecdotal interactions.
Some people have an account on many many many different instances and cross post to them all from different accounts so that when you block their account on one instance you'll still see the posts from their alts. Could this be part of what you're seeing?
It's not. I asked their mother. But asked isn't even really the right word. I discussed proposing to their child with them first out of empathy, courtesy, respect, just plain demonstrating the ability to have real life adult conversations. I think using the idiom of "Asking for permission" really has some pedants in this thread in a twist.
Somebody's got to mention Red Dwarf. It's kind of like if The Office (UK) and Farscape had a baby and raised it on an old Dr. Who set.
I get that you're trying to be witty, but ... Well I don't know what to say that isn't mean. I just don't think it's funny anymore.
For the hopelessly literal and pedantic, the School is named after Joseph L. Mailman, a business person that donated a bunch of money, not a gender exclusive profession.
Do I really even want to know what LinkedIn games are?
More like working class traitor.

I'm no nationalistic fanatic of the flag, but is it really so difficult to understand that the flag is a symbol?
Obviously each flag, be they for nations or other groups, represents more than just a piece of cloth to many people. Taking offence at someone else's identifying with what a flag symbolizes is not okay. But, I tend to look skeptically at worship of any kind of idol, be it flag, cross, or text. That still doesn't mean it's okay to hate or persecute people for their beliefs, even if they appear silly to you and as long as they don't hurt others.
One group can demonstrate their respect for the nation by physically following some rules around the flag and others can demonstrate their loyalty to their ideals of the nation being violated by flying the flag upside down or burning a flag.
A flag or banner is not just a piece of cloth, never has been.
I've used ls, cat, echo, cd, mkdir, mv, cp, rm, & ssh pretty much every day I've touched a computer since some time near the end of the twentieth century. Honorable mention to sudo, find, rename, ffmpeg, Gimp, & VLC. If you count ROMs for games, the list gets into the deeper past, though I don't use them as often. I guess I still need to get around a few Windows/DOS machines, so ~~DIR and~~ (I don't love DIR) CD ~~are~~ is probably the absolute oldest when at the keyboard, but it's technically a different thing for different systems even though it does the same task.
As for loving it, I love when shit just works and I love the command line.
