Wedding traditions are constantly evolving, changing with the times and falling in and out of fashion.
For as long as those traditions have existed, there have been people ready and willing to argue about them. Today is no different.
Evie Magazine, a publication aimed at young women, joined in the ongoing bridal battle with tweets encouraging brides to call off the wedding if the groom opts to have his bachelor party at a strip club.
While the move certainly isn't going to win any originality points, Evie didn't have any issues with the fact it's an overdone trope at this point. According to them, a bachelor party at a strip club means a man is not husband material and they had no problems telling Twitter all about it.
The magazine fired off a series of "impassioned" tweets on the matter.
If your fianc\u00e9 goes to a strip club for his bachelor party you should call off the wedding.— Evie Magazine (@Evie Magazine) 1651161190
\u201cOh, you like your \u2018last night of freedom\u2019 so much? Don\u2019t worry. You\u2019re now \u2018free\u2019 of me forever.— Evie Magazine (@Evie Magazine) 1651161315
Has nothing to do with insecurity and everything to do with character and integrity. If your idea of a good time is getting lap dances from strangers and throwing money at naked women the night before your wedding, you\u2019re not husband material and definitely not father material.— Evie Magazine (@Evie Magazine) 1651161487
\u201cI\u2019m a real man! It\u2019s my right to pay women to strip naked for me and give me lap dances with a side of boner. If you don\u2019t trust me as your fianc\u00e9 you\u2019re controlling!\u201d— Evie Magazine (@Evie Magazine) 1651166495
Tons of people agreed and were here to shout their opinions from the rooftops.
Sure I agree, but then there also shouldn't be a Bachelorette party where the girls order a bunch of male strippers who want to show the soon-to-be-bride some "fun"— unknowndiplomat (@unknowndiplomat) 1651165246

100% I would call it off, getting married should be exciting not looked upon as if this will be the last time you will ever be free.— \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 Craig \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 Craig \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8) 1651165174

But others thought the real red flag was the mindset behind the tweet.
Some speculated it may have been a little too "inspired by personal events."
They didn't hold back their opinions either.
I find it very curious how boring and unimpressive people always find a way to turn their insecurities and lack of intelligence into some kind of higher moral just so they can look down on others and feel great about the little world they live in.— Pedro Lopes (@Pedro Lopes) 1651188370
Oh my! Imagine being married to someone like "Evie". \n\nThis tweet screams insecurity. https://twitter.com/Evie_Magazine/status/1519706297670803460\u00a0\u2026pic.twitter.com/qvuemQnjcZ— Irish\u2618Girl (@Irish\u2618Girl) 1651228767

The magazine took aim at men in the comments who admitted to going to strip clubs—calling them effeminate and pathetic.
A lot of effeminate men in the comments. Yikes. Sorry bro, but if you have to pay a woman to take her clothes off, you're pathetic.https://www.eviemagazine.com/post/is-your-boyfriend-effeminate\u00a0\u2026— Evie Magazine (@Evie Magazine) 1651198856
Wedding wars aren't likely to end any time soon. People have passionate opinions about major life events, even when the life those events are happening to isn't their own.
Especially when the life they're up in arms about isn't their own.
Everyone is on the same page that there are red flags flying all over the place here, but people can't seem to agree on who's doing all the twirling.
