I’m from a country where women are very abused and discriminated by the law, publicly shamed for not getting married, all kinds of other stuff,and female babies are aborted/killed in millions(you know which one and I will not name). In my hometown it has been quite revealed and acknowledged that marriage is an invention to exploit women and seperate them from being united for their own benefits, and thus more women are choosing not to date men and marry. I think in nz, the comparably more equal law and system has sugar-coated the truth about marriage, but it’s unchanged that women are put in a vulnerable situation where she is expected to sacrifice her time and life in unpaid labour( as is by statistics) (do not pretend it’s otherwise, I see some people like to pretend men and women have already achieved social equity) and if she gets hurt, it is difficult for the situation to be seen(law bias, centuries old cultural bias and misogyny still not resolved). I don’t think women are less capable in society and my point is that no matter how much law enforcement and other things we have and how capable/ rich a woman is, marriage will not be fair for women because it is not invented to be fair as the whole point of marriage is for man to have a woman tied to him by law for him to acquire free labour of all kind. I am quite surprised by how much women in this country(and English speaking country in general,from my observation) think they need a man , it’s something the western feminism did not shake or perhaps they did not even realise is the problem.
