'''Marriage''' in the modern Western context is a system of legalized [[prostitution]] by which a man [[Sexual trad-con|bribes]] a woman with food/drink,<ref>https://nypost.com/2019/06/21/a-third-of-women-only-date-men-because-of-the-free-food-study</ref> resource security, emotional security, amazing sex, never losing his job, transportation service, an expensive ring, enduring a lavish wedding, and often a place to stay. This in exchange for letting him have regular sexual intimacy and to know who his children are through institutionalized long term monogamy. This description of marriage does not constitute all that that women may be entitled to in a marriage, but it does constitute the most a man is expected to receive. The symbol of marriage is the future [[husband]] going down on one knee offering an expensive diamond ring to the woman. There is a reason why women hate to be the ones to propose like this, because most of the barter is supposed to be on the male side. | '''Marriage''' in the modern Western context is a system of legalized [[prostitution]] by which a man [[Sexual trad-con|bribes]] a woman with food/drink,<ref>https://nypost.com/2019/06/21/a-third-of-women-only-date-men-because-of-the-free-food-study</ref> resource security, emotional security, amazing sex, never losing his job, transportation service, an expensive ring, enduring a lavish wedding, and often a place to stay.

Even if there is 50/50 shared parenting and the mother works, it is still a bribe, as the condition for a stable marriage is only the man keeping his job, not the woman. As the National Parent's Organization says, "The key factor in the decision to divorce is whether Hubby (note, '''not''' the [[wife]]) has a job. If he doesn’t, even if his job loss is involuntary, his odds of being ditched by his [[wife]] skyrocket."<ref>https://nationalparentsorganization.org/blog/23125-does-cohabitation-explain-the-decline-in-the-divorce-rate</ref><ref>https://www.livescience.com/14705-husbands-employment-threatens-marriage.html</ref> | Even if there is 50/50 shared parenting and the mother works, it is still a bribe, as the condition for a stable marriage is only the man keeping his job, not the woman.
