The article is so awesomely awful that I thought we should excerpt the best parts and hold a funeral for Deadspin, which once mattered, and now is dead.
Let me make this clear before we begin: if you have a joint bachelor and bachelorette party you are a first rate fucking PC bro loser.
Period.
No sports fans do this, so, of course, Deadspin thinks you should do it.
From the opening paragraph comes this jewel: "keeping these people (of the opposite sex) from your bachelor/ette party because they're the wrong gender is incredibly retrograde and self-defeating, is it not?"
"Retrograde and self-defeating," my God, it's like PC bro slam poetry.
Once I read this half-sentence, I knew this was going to be good. But I had no idea how good.
The next paragraph is where things really get rolling:
"Sure, there's the option of having the bride and groom each have their own special weekend with their own special people, whoever they may be, and whatever gender they may be. But having a joint bachelor/ette celebration has the benefit of actually cutting down on any potential awkwardness you don't have to buy into gender essentialism to recognize that certain (sexist) traditional bachelor party events might be impacted by the presence of the groom's little sister while also facilitating friendships across the aisle, as it were."
This might be the worst paragraph written in the history of the Internet.
