UPDATE: Women have a RIGHT to FREE contraception.

[eduardo89]

In New Zealand if you live together for 3 years then straight or gay you are automatically married and own half of each others stuff.

That's not true. New Zealand does not legally recognize gay "marriage". They have civil unions, however.

 

[speciallyblend]

We are equal in the sense we are human and we need air to breath, food and water to live. The only cage around us is government, if you allow government to lock you in, it's by your choice not anyone else.

in many cases the only cages i see are women putting the cages around them nothing to do with gov.

Ah, branding is big for you?

Just pointing out that what you said is false. Also in common law marriage it's only the thing you acquire after that point that generally become joint assets

Seriously? WTF is wrong with this world??? Thats like saying. MEN have a right to FREE gym memberships! Men have a right to FREE viagra! Free Cellphones. RIGHTS!! This is disgusting. Isnt this where ron paul flies in with his cape and his pen and vetos this unconstitutional crap?!??!

when denying gays the equal rights outright fails, they resort to branding, if that fails, they'll say "you still can't force me to call it what it is not".

Of course on the surface that is exactly what it appears to look like to most. But deep down it was designed by government (Intelligent Manipulation) to cause a gender warfare, get the women to pay taxes and take them away from the home and divide the country.

Edward Bernays (nephew of Sigmund Freud) started this ball rolling in the 1920s and '30s, with the Torch of Freedom parade.

isnt sex with contraception a sin

Many sects of Christianity believe that within the context of a marriage birth control is completely fine. So it depends.

 

[Danke]

It depends on what it is I want to buy. If it's a large ticket item like a car or house I would certainly talk it over with my husband. I do not need his approval, nor does he need mine. It's a mutual respect, and personal responsibility that is key here. I emphatically trust my husband.

That explains the frequent ventures to Walmart when he get back from his long boat rides with the boys.

Wow, you are really clueless. I am not here making myself look good or anyone else for that matter. You're so hung up with thinking materialism equates liberty. There is no beef to your diatribe.

If materialism isnt liberty, why isnt poverty a virtue?

 

[Invicta]

There is nothing free and without cost wherever government is found.

All Bernays wanted to do was make more money for his client.

And, this line of posts reminds me of something from Mad Men...




"You make the lie. You invent want. You're for them. Not us."
"I hate to break it to you, but there is no big lie. There is no system. The universe is indifferent."

Guess you are not familiar with Edward Bernays' book-- in his own words he talks about manipulating peoples minds.

I`ve seen this documentary a while back. Not sure how you see this fitting into our equation.

Yes, guy worked for US gov same as he worked for private companies. Both gov and corporations have something they want to sell you. Either a concept or idea or something that in the end might prove lucrative. Government is often in bed with certain big corporations, so it`s basically just taxpayer paid advertising if you will, to help certain corporate interest.

Corporations needed to generate growth to please shareholders, so in turn they needed bigger market. Psychologists such as this guy were employed to help them create that market. From where people only bought 1 pair of shoes that would last them a lifetime, they`ve started buying dozens of shoes to match their personality, various events, trends, etc.

Yes, was manufactured consent if you will. But it`s not in any way different than how church does it. Church used same techniques to manufacture consent(see for eg tickets to heaven) by providing for certain afflictions such as loneliness, fear of death, lack of purpose etc. Church just filled a market for these needs, same as corporations filled a market for dozens pair of shoes and various products. I`ve seen several people, these past few years, trying out different churches to see which one fits them best, just like trying out shoes in a store. It`s same thing actually. It`s just the market trying to sell you a product.

Because men can't be gold diggers.

Do women never earn more than men where you live?

Sure, but the courts will side with the woman more than the man when it comes to divorce settlements.
It is usually the woman that gets the house, the kids, the car.
If your really unlucky she will even take your dog too...

I know exactly who he is, and I appreciate your intellectual snobbery. I'll go out on a limb and say that I'm more familiar with him than you are, and that I saw The Century of Self before you did. His own words do nothing but support my original claim - he was just working for his employer. All he was trying to do was tap into a new market. He wasn't some sinister, whisker-twisting villain. He was a real guy. Just like the rest of us. Except he was in tune with the human subconscious more than rest.

.

If women weren't guaranteed a financial safety-net, they might exercise greater discretion when choosing a mate. On the other hand, prescience of the terrors of divorce court is mostly ignored by men in the selection process.

Marriage is a contract.. a bad contract totally lopsided to the woman.
As it stands now, its just a way for a women to leech off you for years, then take half your stuff and leave.
If women had to honor obey their husband.. and that was enforceable.. then maybe it be worth getting married.

you can keep the house
and the bank accounts
'cause boys I bring home the bacon
