That's a very accurate explanation of the origins of patriarchal institutions of marriage and the modern, westernised archetype. It's not the only definition as there were other types of marriage that treated partners as equals, often in cultures where homosexual relationships were accepted. It's not an accurate representation of marriage today, in most cultures, but there are still institutionalised bigotries which result from those origins. It's one of the reasons why I'm opposed to marriage, in principle.

Quote:I suppose feminists should be single or divorced....
I think you'll find that feminists who care about such things (as not all do) will choose a partner who won't seek to oppress them through matrimony, whether that partner is male or not.

Why do you see valid criticisms of marriage as a 'RadFem' issue, specifically?
