But that's just comparing "feminist marriages" to current marriages. What makes a feminist marriage better than just being single?
There's only so much crazy I can explain.

Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
But it's a traditionally two parent society. Why would it be weird to think that people would want to be part of a child-raising dyad? Or team?
Mostly, just that there are plenty of single mothers out there who do have the option of finding some other single mother and living together, like Kate and Allie, but it seems like relatively few do that.

Because being a single mother is too difficult for some women to countenance?
It reads to me like being a mother in this situation is just a means to get the government to give you money, though. So the choice is between being "feminist married" and having lots of kids and living like a welfare queen and being single and getting no fancy government money at all.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
On average, a feminist marriage will have at least four income sources, two of them tax-free, plus backup welfare entitlements.
I am totally getting right on this!
I know! I wanted to marry Tim so we could make our friends and family dance around a pig at the reception, but four income sources is WAY better than a pig!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

A pig is NO MATCH for four income sources! Its swine-fu is powerless before the combined strength of four income sources! Red river hog, you have met your match in the average feminist marriage!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Guys, before y'all jump into anything, speaking from my admittedly limited perspective in a boring old non-feminist marriage...there's just a slight possibility that kids may be way the fuck more expensive than this guy thinks they are. And also that food stamps are not actually printed on gold leaf.

Well, yeah. But women in a feminist marriage are supposed to sleep with rich men (while lying about using birth control) so they can get child support.
I'm still reading stuff on that blog. There's a lot of scary men out there.
(You may all yell "duh" at me if you wish.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That's why you need to lesbian-marry them off as soon as possible.
