| Majora said: Actually the primary reason was consolidation of wealth and assets. It also gave people rights should a marriage go awry. Regardless of that, things change to accommodate changes. That's how the world works - we need change. Also if marriage is so sacred to straight people, why are a lot of them breaking down? Why are there so many affairs? Why, why, why? We could be asking questions all day. I'd like some of the idiots on here to have their rights taken away for a single day. Maybe then they could appreciate all the 'whining'. It's a sad world where people have to whine to be treated as equals. |
The reason the family structure is collapsing is due to ill-advised progressive policies of the 1950s and 1960s that eliminated boundries to divorce and created social programs to support children out of marriage. The politicians that supported these changes argued that it was moronic to assume that these changes would result in a high divorce rate, or that it would translate into an epidemic of children being raised in single parent households.
