[–] WheeGeetheCat@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago This may be unpopular but the marraige model was never good for women in the west, and Im glad we are free of it. We were expected to be live-in bang-maid-mothers. Women were lobotomized during the 'golden 1950s' that some (often conservative men) worship. I think I am starting to prefer a model where I live together in groups with friends/ family for protection and support. permalink fedilink source
