And no, I don't think this is exclusive of DC.

By why is that the default response when one realizes people have made different choices than oneself and that they are comfortable with those choices? Why is the automatic reaction "Well then, you must be bitter and envious because you don't have/don't want what I have or what I covet" ?

Go know. That's all I can tell you. If you want to know why women don't support each other and embrace the different choices that are available to us because we live in a free society you are as confused as I am.

I actually just started a thread with the disclaimer...I am not bitter. I agree bitter is the new pathetic. I think some trolls just run around labeling people bitter to annoy people.

Ok, fine, in this case, you are insecure and ranting all because somebody called you bitter. Actually, I guess that is all bitterness too.
