Women are expected to take the brunt of all the hard work in society. We are expected to grow up for starters. Men never have to grow up, nor do they in most cases. That's not a misandrist sentiment either. Most men will agree with it. Fuck growing up if you don't have to, but alas, women have to grow up.

Also, capitalism is set up for straight women to marry early and often. That means more profits for the textiles industry...overseas. Lord knows there is no textiles industry left inside the US.

They know the wedding is more of a big deal to women than men. So, they jack the prices up and make a big hullabaloo about the wedding stuff to get you to buy buy buy more more more. They make men feel better by allowing men to rent the tux. That way if he gets cold feet, he can get his money back.

Also, men are allowed to not look at you before the wedding. That's because they want the men to remember the booty more than looking in your face. Once he sees your mother, he gets a glimpse of his future. And if he doesn't have to look at you before the wedding, he's more apt to go through with it. Once you get married, he'll never look in your face or eyes again. He'll expect you to fetch his beer and clean his skid marks. I don't know why the call the bride's friends the bride's maids. You are the one who is getting a maid's job, not them. :shrug:

Also, women are expected to get their rich daddies to pay for shit. If your daddy is still poor and you are getting married, it means your fiancé didn't pay him enough for you. You have the added bonus of being a bargain bin wifey. That means either your dad sold you too cheaply or your fiancé is either a cheap bastard or poor. Oh joy. :eyes:

I guess you can tell I'm sort of bitter about the whole Straight Marriage Only Allowed thing. It proves that the entire marriage sham is to keep women as property. The so-called Christians, the freaky ass Catholics (as opposed to the sane ones), and the Mormons from Mars with their magic underwear just begging to be wedgied before their heads are stuffed into a toilet(how else do you think Donnie Osmond got those shiny white teeth? it was the toilet cleaner) cannot stand the idea of men selling men into marriage or women selling women into marriage because men aren't property and women aren't supposed to have our own money in their filthy deranged eyes.
