James White Report post Posted September 7, 2017 I recently heard a quote from the famous feminist, Gloria Steinem. When asked why she wasn't married, she responded with this gem. "I don't mate in captivity." It's now my favorite sentence in the English language because of how elegantly it sums up my aromantic experience. I'd like to hear if anyone else in the community knows some nice and simple ways of communicating that kind of aro pride with such concision. After all, we could all use a more efficient and well-tuned way to explain aromanticism. I look forward to reading some other examples. 7 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
