The paradigm of woman as private property has been losing popularity, obviously. We have to recognize that the "newer" constructions of womanhood are not necessarily positive.
- obstinate 12y agoYou seem to be implying that woman-as-property was better than what we have today. Presumably that is not what you meant. Perhaps an edit to clarify?

That just has to do with how we humans are naturally polygamous creatures and the sexual revolution has gotten rid of a lot of the societal factors keeping people in strict monogamy.

- obstinate 12y agoI wouldn't lambaste you for misogyny so much as complete inability to observe the reality around you. Can't think of any other explanation for your belief that the minority of men are able to have successful romantic relationships.
