Oh my. It seems like a shitload of otherwise progressive people have no qualms about the idea of a traditional marriage and the man retaining most of the control by default.

This makes me very uncomfortable because I have met some women who have internalized this idea (idk is it that patriarchy or am I overreacting?) which is just so weird to me.

Like, you’re a left-leaning person up until the point where you’re happy to be in a relationship with a cishet man who controls you now. This is society I guess 🤷‍♂️

    Abolishing the nuclear marriage isn't the same as abolishing the idea of a cishet marriage. Its a liberation of all types of relationships while removing the concept of the patriarchy. My wife and I are both cis but we have equal say in everything. Our kids even have their own autonomy relative to their understanding of how things work.
