Marriage is and has always been a semi-consensual for of sexual and social slavery.
No its an agreement between partners to raise children mostly. Also enjoy your cats for companions after you get older.
A return to community-centered matrileneal family structures
Since when have communities been matrileneal?
a dismantling of consumer culture and the objectification it fosters
Fine you can start by not having 20 pairs of shoes.
I have two pairs of shoes and they were both gifts.
YOU can start by not continuing demeaning stereotypes.
Communities are matrileneal by default assuming there aren't any "I own you and your children"- type Men around.
Think about it. When someone is born, the mother is known. The father isn't necessarily known. Patrilenality is rather inefficient and unnatural- just think of the trouble with surnames.
Marriage without children is still marriage. It was invented for men to gain exclusive possession over women, and (admit it) is still used for the same purpose, despite whatever fluff has grown around it.
The lack of community isn't because of men.
Its because you probably live in a city.
Cities have too many people to be communities.
Also communities are more boring and filled with rules.
I ask you in all seriousness. Who built cities? Women? No. Men built cities, and gave their wives no choice but to raise their kids. They did this personally and through establishing cultural norms.
Wow I didn't know a man had to do was tell a woman to do something, and she has no other choice but to comply. Our evil powers have no limits.
Not "a man." Generations upon generations of men- all trained by other men to think of women as things.
I don't get where the removal of free will comes in. Even assuming your premise is true, how does training men remove the free will of women? Do you even think about this stuff before you speak, or are you just repeating what you've been told to believe?
