Hibernating.

“

For, what I often find troubling about such conservative arguments in support of the so-called and much-touted Traditional Intact Biological Family is that men are first framed as sexually aggressive wildebeasts and then it is put forth that it is women’s sacrificial duty to live with these men, to tame them, and to expose themselves and children to men all because, natch, that’s what is key to male happiness and is most fair to men.

Heterosexual marriage becomes an institution specifically centered around male violence, male urges, male happiness, and trying to tame sexually aggressive men.

It’s basically the shittiest advertisement for heterosexual marriage and the worst PR campaign for men ever. Which is why I always find it ironic that it’s feminists who are constantly accused of vilifying men and traditional marriage.
