I Dont Believe In Dating Just For the Sake of Dating

[c=#7700B2]feminists will hate me for this but I wish relationships were kinda like the old days.. you get married, have a faithful hard working husband who provides while the wife stays at home looking after the kids and cooking and whatever..

lol I say that but I would never allow myself to rely on someone financially like that but its a nice thought.
I love playing with kids and enjoy cooking.. It all seems so much less stressful compared to these days..

ahh the thought is nice at least[/c]

Feminists abolished the institution of marriage and it was funded by the US government

Yeah, that's why weddings are still a huge industry@tynamite:

@tynamite: Bullshit. The "institution of marriage" is alive and well, and the government encourages it by offering benefits to married people that are not available to people who are just living together. There are over 1000 benefits for marriage, including savings on taxes, health coverage, inheritance, etc. that have been estimated to cost $30,000 or more if you attempted to replicate them privately with the help of a lawyer.

You're just repeating right-wing nonsense without thinking. Also, "feminists" couldn't do anything unless a majority of non-feminists went along with it. There just aren't enough "feminists." And if feminists are the majority, then suck it up, buttercup.

@ShoesOfWanderingITMFA: The marriage rate is declining so marriage is not alive and well.

LeopoldBloom · M

@tynamite: How is that "feminists" fault? The marriage rate is affected by various social changes that have nothing to do with individual decisions. You could just as easily blame "traditionalists" for pushing an antiquated view of marriage that doesn't fit with modern society, so people are abandoning it for that reason.

@tynamite: the only thing feminism did was give more people more choices. And the recognition to women that they don't have to be in a bad marriage. Those lessons are being learned by all, people are understanding that marriage should be a want not a need.
