People are still marrying men and having kids with them in 2020. Sad.
There needs to be another alternative for straight women.
I said what I said. Stay mad.

If you& #39;re a man mad at this tweet, I don& #39;t give a shit. Argue your mom about it.
If you& #39;re not a man and you& #39;re mad at this tweet, direct your anger at the patriarchy. Ask yourself why women married to men have lower life expectancies, & higher rates of mental health issues.

And then ask yourself why people, but especially women, are under so much pressure to be partnered, especially with men. And to have kids with them. For what?
Women gain nothing from marrying men. Nothing good anyway. Men get all the benefits.

I tweeted this yesterday after reading this piece. This woman shut down her company and laid off her employees because her good-for-nothing husband, who is unemployed, couldn& #39;t handle taking care of their son on his own. https://www.thelily.com/i-had-to-choose-being-a-mother-with-no-child-care-or-summer-camps-women-are-being-edged-out-of-the-workforce/">https://www.thelily.com/i-had-to-...
If you& #39;re a straight woman who wants a marriage and kids, you& #39;re screwed. Idc how kind and progressive your husband is. You will be doing the bulk of the childcare and housework. You will be more stressed than he is. Your chances of being a victim of violence will increase.
Like, that& #39;s just how it is. Women partnered with men are doomed. What& #39;s the alternative? I don& #39;t know.
But I think there are 2 things we can work on in the meantime:
1) dismantle the patriarchy
2) normalize different kinds of relationships and families

So for example, normalize being single & childfree. Prioritize platonic relationships as much as your romantic ones. Normalize different types of romantic relationships.
Normalize non-nuclear families. Normalize co-parenting with folks you& #39;re not romantically involved with.

Idk like if you& #39;re attracted to men that& #39;s not going to change anytime soon.
But you can and should be aware of how patriarchy will insert itself into your relationships with men. & if you want a family, consider that there are other ways of doing this besides marrying a man

People are unfollowing me. Good. Weeding out the anti-feminists.
