Is to abolish things in the correct order. What the correct order is I am not entirely sure, but I think abolishing contractual marriage before abolishing the inequities in the treatment of women in terms of labor, wages and property is to leave women with no recourse when men scamper off and leave them with nothing but children to care for

I’ve been up all night working, and dealing with the horror of clients… do I or do I not have the right to demand pancakes?
Also I Want Babies, Specifically D’s Babies
I want to reproduce with that sexy motherfucker… did I mention I haven’t slept? But I mean this is still true, I want to have babies with D. We’re going to make such gorgeous hellspawn.
Also I’m Mrs. Darling.
Never ever Miss Darling. Ms. Darling is acceptable, but I prefer Mrs. Mr. Darling is also acceptable. I am also not Mrs. Husband’s-last-name. I am Mrs. Darling.
Do not call me “Miss” by itself, “Ma’am” or “Sir” is preferable in these situations,
If you’re not going to do this properly, just call me by my first name. It’s simpler.
Though of course Comrade Darling always works too.
D whispers to himself when he’s thinking
So some times it sounds like one of those horror movies where the house whispers
D and I were together for only 8 months before we got married.
We’ve been married two years.
Sometimes making rash decisions works really really well.
Also I see other people in my feminist group on facebook
and a lot of them are like
“My husband got really offended when I didn’t want to change my name when we got married”
“My husband says it’s unrealistic for fat women to be with conventionally attractive men:
"My husband *insert incredibly racist bullshit here*”
“My husband *insert homophobic bullshit here*”
“My husband *insert transphobic bullshit here*”
“My husband *insert victim blamey bullshit here*”
and I’m like “how much do dudes have to suck on average for this to be normal in my really careful about intersectionality, really careful about ableism and generally incredibly good feminist group? Like HOW ARE YOU MARRIED TO THESE THINGS?”
Also how come mine doesn’t do that? Did I just randomly happen to get literally the best one? Is that what I did?
Is it because I had the alternative of people who aren’t men that I didn’t end up with a dude who lives to spout problematic shit?
