Marriage is a necessary defense of a woman’s sexuality and her human liberty from determined assault by men who would turn her into a slave, a concubine – something less than fully human.
I don't think my male husband protects me from determined assault by men who would turn me into a slave or concubine. Pretty sure if I had a woman partner she would help me fight off these determined assaulting men, or if alone I might manage to find a way to protect myself. Then again, I guess I have just been lucky that I haven't had to deal with these determined men who want me for a slave or concubine. Or in fewer words, @@.
Marriage doesn't protect women from assault. In many cases it simply legalizes it. That guy is living in a world that is not this one.

Does the CSM normally have a comments section? Or did they wisely forego on here?
What a lot of nonsense trying very hard to masquerade as sweet reason.
I have been working on making a salad all day. I've managed to wash the lettuce and, er, eaten all the carrots because I tried one and it was delicious and just eating them all up Bugs Bunny style seemed much easier than slicing or grating or anything else. I like salads, but I'm bad at the prep that goes into them.
Yes, I hate salad prep. Luckily, the French are all about one ingredient salads (lettuce, carrots, cucumbers,
or
tomatoes), so there's a rationalization for my laziness.
megan walker! I got a French-English dictionary for my birthday! It made me think of you!
I eat salad almost every day so I tend to have lots of fun ingredients at hand. Except today I made a tuna melt, which could be defined as salad since it included tuna salad with celery.
