A good man doesn't leave his wife - period.
1976 The first marital rape law is enacted in Nebraska, making it illegal for a husband to rape his wife.

In “Population Policy in Transition in the Developing World,” also published in the population issue of Science, authors John Bongaarts and Steven Sinding explain why there has been renewed interest on family planning in developing countries. Since rapid population growth in the poorest countries is hampering development, “economists, once notably skeptical, increasingly acknowledge that fertility decline has beneficial economic effects for nations and families,” they write. Moving forward, Bongaarts and Sinding suggest family planning needs to be at the forefront of population and development discussions. Not only is family planning “cost effective,” they write, but it is responsible for “relieving population pressures, stimulating economic development, improving health, and enhancing human freedom.”

what the heck is wrong with people, men and women, having the freedom to make decisions as to what they might do, how they will use the resources that they can come up with in this utterly corrupt, have always been corrupt, only, it seems much more corrupt when we eliminate half of our members from having that freedom! pre 1960 was kind of like a buy on get one free sale to satan, because all he had to do was corrupt the man, the head of the household, the one who everyone in the household was bond to obey, to accept as the final word, by not only society but also in many ways, the laws, the employment policies, in the society, which gave the husband the power to corrupt everyone in his family.

Honestly, polyamory marriage makes more sense in our progressive world.
Another agreement here Annee what is going on you are scaring me.
I would say maybe not a marriage, but a polyamory union this way we would have more people's input on family decisions, in case one person has gone off the deep end.
LOL
I agree, perhaps a new kind of legal agreement.
But, if they want to call it marriage - - I'm OK with that too.
I think its so much more realistic in today's transient world.
If you have someone in a group who wants to stay home and watch the kids, that's great. Give her/him an allowance (paycheck).
If you have someone in the group that loves to cook and shop - - pool your resources and let her/him do that.
As I understand it, polyamory is on the rise.

This to say that if we were really a free society, a society based on positive values the kind of freedom we experienced in the last 50 years could have actually worked but we are not a really free society, we are slaves of money, we are controlled by advertisers, we are bred to consume. So the so called freedom we´ve been sold comes actually at a price.
Why do you think the contraceptive pill is associated with freedom?
Why do you think abortion is associated with freedom of choice?
Why do you think gun possession is associated with security?
Why do you thing war is associated with peace?
The forces that bred us to consume also pay airtime in the media, some even own the media and some even own the politicians making the laws that allow these so called freedom changes to take place.

If someone wants out the group has no issues with it and allows the person to leave. People might think it's bad for the kids, but think about it, if someone wants out there's still plenty of others to care for them.

Yes. You have to pick your battles. Learning the fine art of satire helps too. Then you can make fun of them to their faces and they don't realize it.

For those who have been using the idea that all of these issues are because of men being violent toward women. What of women that are violent toward men? I believe that studies show that about 2 out of 5 cases of domestic violence are men on the receiving end of that violence.
Why is this always the go to for this issue?
Why are women considered faultless?
Why is it if you ask just about anyone who was more fair or nice to them as a child the majority will answer "my father"?
The problem here isn't feminism in itself, the problem is that the so called "leadership" of feminism are radical and they see everything in terms of black and white and have made the law see things in the same ridiculous terms that they do. Men are always bad (although white men are worse) and women are always the victim. It is dangerous to think in such general terms and the OP is correct in stating that our cultural decline is at the very least accelerated by such terrible mentality.

First, I agree with you. Second, I've only recently started to realize the lack of intelligence on this web site. There are huge numbers of American rednecks here. The whole gun rack in the pickup truck types. At first, I started to lose my # and my karma score reflects it but recently, I realized that I'm arguing with a bunch of #ing idiots. Why? Now, I've just decided to laugh at them because it just isn't worth the frustration of arguing with people who have an IQ below 50.
