The irony is how patriarchy always promoted the myth that women were trapping men in marriage. When the truth was that men were trapping women in marriage by limiting their economic options to live independently. Now that women can get a college education and jobs the lie is exposed. Marriage benefits men much more than women. Patriarchy promises that even poor men get a domestic servant.

They define "wife" as "indentured domestic servant" instead of as an equal. Women are not falling for that crap anymore.

My one grandmother got upset when I was in high school and talking about going to college and having a career. My grandma was upset because according to her the only reason a woman should go to college is to find a husband and then drop out once that was accomplished. My mom, who is not a confrontational person, actually yelled at her to stop and how I was not going to depend on a man for my life. I've never seen her in such a state and I felt so heard and loved in that moment. That she stood up to her mom for me and validated my future choices in life because she believed in me and wanted more for me than they had raised her to be. She later told me she would support me if I became a stay at home wife and mom but that she wanted me to get an education and a start in a career first.

The fact that married men live longer than single men and married women live a shorter life than single women says it all really.

If it's so good for us, why isn't marriage the "selfish" choice?
Those calling unmarried women "selfish" are exposing that they KNOW it's a sh*t deal for women. Their expectation is that women should choose to suffer, selflessly, anyway. Choose yourselves, ladies. Every damn time!

“If you give someone the power to feed you, you also give them the power to starve you."

What pisses me off about it all is they spent such a long time making women jump through hoops to be married; they made stereotypes about bridezilla, jokes about trying to get away from the Missus—now women dare to dream of more than a ring and a life chained to a stove and a fat, ungrateful POS and suddenly it’s a problem?

I am 66. When I was in the 8th grade my father told me to “go to college, have a career so if I married a man that turned out to be no good I would not be stuck”. I listened. Thank you dad.

When I was in my 30s a male acquaintance asked me why I wasn’t interested in dating. So I asked him, “If you had a sister. Would you be happy if she dated any one of your friends?” I wish you could have seen his face as light dawned. Then  he said no and he’d never thought about it that way.

"Daughters are no longer being raised to be wives.  Daughters are now being raised to be people."      Some men still don't understand that  women are people, same as them.

I’ll never forget my ex mother-in-law almost in tears telling me that she never wanted six kids, that she was always frankly disgusted when her husband had “that look” in his eyes. After the sixth kid, she basically had a nervous breakdown. Sweetest woman in the world, but she deeply resented having to be that way. Nope, not an option.

My mom raised me to be a wife. My dad raised me to be independent. Thanks Dad.❤

A bunch of non monogamous men wanting us to be married to them. How is that beneficial to us?!

Funny that if a woman has a child too early, too late, not at all, out of wedlock, in wedlock, divorced or widowed they are always at fault and something is wrong with them.… 🤷🏾‍♀️

“Shit out a bunch of babies and stay home”. 🙄 What a jerk!

The #1 takeaway everyone needs to hear from this video; Women no longer believe any husband is better than no husband. Staying single can bring more peace than marrying the wrong person.

Watching adult-aged males having a tantrum that women are not lining up to be a version of their mother they can have sex with or to be a pet breeder—wow, who could have predicted women would want more from life...?

My mom: never depend on a man, depend on yourself.

when we wanted to marry them they ran away and said they dont want the commitment dont want to be husband or father. now they mad we dont want to be slaves

With a wife, even the poorest man can have a slave.
