Yes.

I'm not opposed to some sort of an arrangement with men who actually want to be active in their kid's lives and that can look like a lot of different things.

But. I think it's past time we recognize that marriage doesn't.ake .ost women happy long term. It doesn't make men happy either; there's ample evidence for that as well. Also, most men don't really want to have anything to do with the care of their kids. It's actually anathema to what they reakky want, which is to flex their masculinity and chase after status in one way or another. Marriage gets in the way of that.

There's a new publication out called the Panopticon that kind of works like Crossfire but for essayists and without the screaming testerical drama. The editors actually just dropped the first pair of articles, which were, fortuitously to our discussion, on marriage.You should check them out. I more or less agree with Argumentative Penguin's position but I get there theough a feminist lens and a woman's experience.
