I have to say, I find this 'don't critique or complain about a situation which doesn't negatively affect you' approach quite baffling. Would you rather people stayed silent about unfair situations of which they were, however unwillingly, the beneficiary? Liv is discussing a situation here in which she made a choice to form a particular state-sanctioned relationship structure, and the implications that has had for her life. This is completely different from a man talking about abortion - it's more akin to a woman who had an unplanned pregnancy and chose to keep the baby, talking about abortion. It's someone who chose a certain road talking about how it's unfair that their way is made easier for reasons that seem unfair to them.

But seriously, when did it become unacceptable to talk about unfair situations if they don't adversely affect you? Am I, as a white person, supposed to refrain from talking about how much less likely I am to suffer police violence or other discrimination, for example? Or is that, by your logic, rubbing other people's nose in it?
