    The social deregulation of sex (it used to go hand in hand with marriage, even in Europe!) has created a bit of chaos.

        I have a feeling that signing a whole legal document/ screaming to the four winds (both families included) you will be having sex with this person did a lot for consent. But I understand, marital rape. Divorce is a thing though, and always should have been, but some cultures have been historically more brutally misogynistic than others…

          Yeah women have famously never had really really bad times with marriage

          You know how the suicide rate among women plummeted when no-fault divorce became a thing? Total coincidence

            It should’ve always been a thing and in certain places of the world it was. Don’t complain about your past cultural norms when I’m advocating for the mere social recognition/public announcement and acceptance of a couple of people of age and reason, which is what I’m talking about here when I say ‘marriage’. Women used to be witches to be burned at the stake in the West not too long ago, I’m not at all surprised that women are disregarded and abused still…

      Wealth inequality is basically the only issue that matters. Every other problem stems from that.

        No, people are aimless and in times of great wealth they just turn to hedonism and lose sight of the bigger picture. Man needs more than bread…
