Lauren realizes how snark is defense against connecting with those around them.
This is a huge problem on the Left, in that they assume bad intentions when confronting people who don't share similar views on the world. We see this reach its zenith in feminists. The confused responses they often have is a way of devaluing declarant's with whom they don't understand and refuse to.
Feminists consider social expectations for women to be nice and kind to be repressive. They, then, assume a binary and that men are allowed to mean and nasty and not suffer consequences. That is false, as abrasive men often rub people the wrong way. They confuse intensity with naked aggression.
Still -- and this is why feminists are so mean -- they go out of their way to be mean-spirited, snarky and passive-aggressive. They think they are liberating themselves, but only reveal how little they care about themselves and the people are them. Snark is an emotionally draining action that grates on people around them. Snarky women only hang out with other snarky women, as women without that mentality get extremely annoyed very quickly.
Hopefully, this woman learned some serious lessons here and reformed herself. It will improve her relations with her husband, be a better mother and friend. Happiness is often a choice and hopefully this woman chose happiness over carefully guarded irony that prevents healthy relationships.
