A good read on how marriage is often a catastrophic outcome for women who are creative https://longreads.com/2020/01/15/whatever-happened-to-______/
"I’ve known women as undergrads who were never encouraged to apply for grad school because they were already married, or on the verge of possible marriage, or deeply coupled. Sometimes even a looming potential marriage was considered to eclipse other possibilities."
I think a lot about how marriage is often the worst thing that can happen in a woman's life. How it stresses women more, how it means more work (physical and emotional) and more burden for women and far less burden for men.
I think we need to reform marriage somehow. First, by teaching people how to form strong intimate bonds, bc most ppl really don't know what long relationships entail. Second, by normalizing equal effort/reciprocity in housework and scheduling.
Gender equity starts in the home. You're not going to raise girls who see themselves as fully human and equal to men if all the women in the house are the ones doing the majority of the chores and emotional work. People learn by example. https://hbr.org/2020/05/gender-equity-starts-in-the-home
