The entire thing is legalised crime against males.<br />The solution is to break away from legal state sactioned marriage and create a 'tradcon' marriage insitution (borrowing Marks term for simplicity)They can basically keep the corruption of marriage as it no longer is traditional marriage.<br />I can just hear the screams and shrieks from the left and the homosexuals. They will call such unions bigoted-racist-homosexual and most definately try to outlaw it.<br />Then we will all have to have marriages in the deep woods at night ala Braveheart.<br />Its exciting being a rebel isn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-43132583112500435332011-12-07T04:00:25.191+11:002011-12-07T04:00:25.191+11:00Amanda's opinion seems a bit like the "un...Amanda's opinion seems a bit like the "unprincipled exception". She knows what is good, beautiful and true and wants to preserve it but because she cannot articulate and indeed support the philosophy that would protect and sustain this very same good she goes in various directions and circles.Elizabeth Smithhttp://alcestiseshtemoa.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-32270442356143168292011-12-07T00:45:40.447+11:002011-12-07T00:45:40.447+11:00It is scary to see how the hard-leftist minority c...It is scary to see how the hard-leftist minority can beat public opinion into submission when they get all their ducks in a row and really decide to go for something.<br /><br />I saw it with the "Stolen Generations" apology and now have seen it with this, people who were opposed three months ago now just sigh and shuffle their feet.<br /><br />The social shaming techniques being used are extraordinary, and they completely circumvent the need for an argument.Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-61349461490777286232011-12-06T14:56:08.985+11:002011-12-06T14:56:08.985+11:00She's rather like a person who, having murdere...She's rather like a person who, having murdered their parents, asks the court for mercy on account that they're orphans. The murder victim, in thise case, is marriage.<br /><br />As for marriage not being permanent, liberals do indeed believe in such perfect autonomy, but only for women. Sticking men with decades of onerous child support or alimony, or grossly unfavorable property division upon divorce? That's not something I've heard them object to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
