And people hound me about how I'll die with cats and desperately regret not having a man to wash smelly socks for.
Marriage is psychological adrenalectomy.

Cats are cool and so are you. Whatever works for you is the correct decision!
Idk, I usually wash my wives dirty socks more often than she washes mine I'm pretty sure
Laundry is irrelevant if it's on the first floor. I'll do everyone's but they gotta fold
Laundry is irrelevant if it's on the first floor.
Can you explain this?
This is a new rule that I want to add in my household. Like proximity based cleaning, rather than running to teach kids room to grab their dirty clothes.
My wife washes I hang and fold. team work makes for more sexy time.....
Probably lowered the rate of dudes "accidentally" ingesting arsenic in their coffee too.
I was reading a book where people anonymously share confessions. And one was about a person who worked at a Hospice providing care. They shared a lot of old women, on their last days, would confess to murdering their husbands.
Just female suicide rate? I'd like to know the difference in married women rates. The difference in rate should be even bigger.
I had no idea there states that if you're female you can't get a divorce without consent. That's insane. I'm going guess they're all red states since they're big on not respecting women.
We frequently are shown photos in black and white to give a distance. Makes people feel like it was eons ago.
It wasn't that long ago that women had rights. There are people still alive who were part of the first wave of women in the office.
Why would the socialists oppose women's right to choose?
In US. politics, red refers to places with a (usually large) majority of Republican voters.
That's dumb. Probably shouldn't use it when talking online because its backwards from the rest of the world.
America is the only country that matters. Sorry.
Dear downvoters... I'm pretty sure the picture of a bald eagle in front of a US flag is a stand-in for "/s".
Maybe. Maybe not. The ambiguity makes it fun :3
It's the same for both persons In a marriage though
The law in Missouri, for example, only bans pregnant women from seeking a divorce.
Yeah the abuser and the abusee ... You don't see the issue here?
This is the definition of dense.
Sure, but when these laws were passed they were intended to keep women down. Just like women couldn't vote or have back accounts. The fact they still exist, along with more of our rights being reduced, shows the misogynistic intent.
There's an ancient Greek story about a city where young women were killing themselves at an alarming rate, and the city eventually enacted a law where if a woman killed herself the body would be paraded through the streets naked before burial. After that law, the suicides dramatically went down.
The misogynistic interpretation of the author recording the story was that women were ashamed at the thought of being seen naked, even after death, and so this curbed the suicides.
My own interpretation is that it's hard to hide bruises on a naked body.
No one should be trapped in a situation where they feel the only option out is suicide.
My own interpretation is that it’s hard to hide bruises on a naked body.
Considering that the ancient Greeks literally allowed men to murder their wives under certain conditions, I'd say that seeing bruises on a woman's body would elicit no outcry amongst them.
Also... fuck ancient Greece. And fuck the Roman empire, too.
Yeah this was more about the dudes not wanting anyone to see their women naked...dead or not.
What do you mean "fuck them", they don't exist any more...
But idiots who romanticize and glamorize them are.
Were there laws allowing wives to murder their husbands under certain conditions?
None that I've heard of.
I was curious so I did a tiny amount of research and as it turns out, you're pretty much in line with the data.
Information on ancient Greeks beating their wives is pretty sparse and what little we have suggests that it was so common that it barely deserved mention.
Beat their wives, fucked their kids, and gave rise to the society we've inherited today.
Persia should have one at Thermopylae
Christ, that's so horrific to consider, all around.
