An essay that I refuse to write but could be written would be on how the furor after the Tizon essay perfectly mimicked the sex work debate
-
-
There's points of my own essay re: patriarchy that refuse to cede ground to qualifiers because I know readers will balance it themselves
-
If marriage and the family are historically oppressive institutions that continue to be oppressive worldwide, why not abolish them?
-
Many of you will automatically think, "Well, it doesn't mean that all families are bad, in fact, mine is quite good,"
-
or, "Well, okay the way my dad treated my mom was a little weird, but it wasn't that bad, and she loved him"
-
or, "My family was a little messed up but that doesn't mean the overall idea of a family is bad"
-
Which just misses the point. The institution of the family is better than it used to be because we changed how the law protects people.
-
We didn't abolish the wife, we tried to make her a legal and economic equal (and have not yet succeeded)
-
And marriage evolved from coverture into the mythos implemented by Windsor/Obergefell: being about love and human dignity
-
Part of me still yearns for the abolition of marriage, but if given the opportunity to do so, of course I wouldn't
-
Emancipation isn't about the abolition of categories, it's a long hard intergenerational struggle to make a better world
-
tl;dr, capitalism is bad
-
(haha the second shift can definitely exist under full communism tho, and it's a known problem, so this ending is entirely tongue-in-cheek)

YAY PATRIARCHY
