17. These creeps need to understand marriage is on the way out. They probably DO understand that.

What they don't get is there is no going back seventy, eighty years ago when the economy was far different and women were in even worse shape than they are now.

These people want a return to white male privilege, especially the male part. It ain't gonna happen, ever. Marriage is the basic institution for patriarchy and it is dying out in the West. I say "good riddance" to it. Women are increasingly seeing it is basically a ticket to a second-class status and life, being used as an appliance and f*cktoy for men. There is nothing in it for women anymore and there never was.

There shouldn't be ANY bennies for women to trade sex for financial support, which is what marriage IS and always WILL be.
