Or, here's a really good one. I notice that some males claim the reason they don't want to get married is that marriage is an archaic institution foisted onto the public by dogmatic, tyrannical, fascist organized religions. (Their words, not mine.)
Er, okay, duly noted. And they also claim that marriage is "demeaning" to women because it treats women like properly, women are chattel, women are basically slaves to their master. (Again, their words, not mine.) The guy insists that it is a matter of sociopolitical opinion and breaking free from shackles something-or-other.
Full disclosure -- I have to wonder about the sanity and the intelligence levels of females that fall for this crap. Even fuller disclosure -- I see that a whole lot of self-described "free-thinking liberal" females actually spout this crap themselves.
But hang on a second, wait a minute, wait a minute. Let us set all the facts out in a row.
1) a male claims that he is against marriage because women are imprisoned, enslaved, they do not have freedom, they do not have liberty, etc. a female claims she is against marriage for the same reason -- she does not want to be enslaved in a wifey prison.
2) this supposedly means what it says -- he is opposed to an arrangement in which women are imprisoned, treated like indentured servants, are treated like slaves.
3b) let us review the duties and responsibilities that a wife has in a marriage arrangement and household. in the arrangement is which she is apparently treated like a slave, etc. the wife cooks, she cleans, she takes care of the husband, they have sex, she nags and fusses at him to eat more healthily and to exercise. she is the one that has to endure pregnancy, she takes care of the kids, she might choose to be a stay-at-home-mom and homemaker.
3b) according to family research councils as well as economic growth surveys, in the majority of two-parent households, it is the wife who handles all the bill paying, utilities, expenses. that doesn't necessarily mean she pays out of her own pocket, especially if the husband is the breadwinner. it does mean that she controls the money.
4) one more fact of the marriage arrangement: in this modern day and age, and especially in this society, there is enormous legal protection for a wife. If the husband is bored and decides to just pack up his stuff and leave, he better have a plan for fully supporting his soon-to-be ex-wife. He is not allowed to just toss the wife or kids out on the street. He is not allowed to just stop supporting them because he feels like it. The law ensures the wife and kids are taken care of. Many a family court judge across the country has decreed this [[decisioin, judgement ___]]]]]]]
hh) next fact: the guy that is opposed to marriage and his shack-up are living together. In the cohabitation arrangement, what is the female's role? Let us review the duties and responsibilities that the female in the shack-up has. She cooks, she cleans. A lot of shacking-up couples do have offspring. Illegitimate, born out-of-wedlock offspring.
tr) one major difference between marriage and shacking up. In the shack-up, the female does not have any legal nor financial protection.
gg) next fact: the shacking-up guy still claims to be against marriage because of socio-politically what it represents.
..) and yet the male is apparently okay with this shack-up arrangement-- in which the female has all of the exact same duties and responsibilities as a wife does in the traditional marriage arrangement. But she has none of the benefits.
Check and mate.
