crazy how as recently as 1978 courts found that physical cruelty was only enough to grant a divorce where it rose to the level of danger to life. so basically if a woman was getting beat every day by her husband it was well too bad that's not bad enough for a divorce get back to your wifely duties. that was before many states had no fault divorce as it wasnt until the mid 80s that every state other than ny had it. so truly a woman could be in a very abusive environment and be forced by law to stay with him. just one of the many ways that the law created by men was used to benefit men and oppress women. this is the reality that men/conservatives want to return to when they say they want to eradicate no fault divorce.

let us remember that marriage is intrinsically tied to capitalism and exists in its current form so that property could be passed through patrilineal lines. the only way a man could ensure that a woman was having HIS baby was to make her his property. and that was so important when wealth and status was tied to property so it was necessary to have a (male) heir to pass it down to. i am not against marriage as a concept but we need to remember that it IS an oppressive institution for women and women should consider it w that in mind. the patriarchal roots of our existing marriage institution have not been erased even with the progress that has been made.

this excerpt from my family law casebook on why women file for divorce much more often than men really says it all on who benefits the most from marriage by a long shot. while society places such an important emphasis on marriage for women it is so important to remember that marriage is an oppressive institution meant to make women the property of a man to be his domestic laborer and child bearer. even if that is not so explicit anymore the reality of that still remains. women NEED to remember that they do not have to get married to be happier in life and the reality is that they will probably be happier if they do NOT get married.

i think what is particularly interesting is that men benefit from marriage regardless of the quality of the relationship while women only benefit if they marriage is good. this is bc when the marriage is bad it is likely BECAUSE of the man and even if it is mutually bad the man still benefits from the gender role of wife (domestic labor) while the woman benefits nothing from the gender role of husband. it also noted earlier that men are much more likely to get remarried than woman which i think underscores how much men rely on being married and having a wife to take care of them vs women after divorce want to be on their own. i truly think women need to be more wary of getting married and that has to start with no longer socializing women to think the most important and worthwhile thing they will ever do is marry a man.

this article im reading gives such an interesting perspective on the idea of the fetus as a separate entity from the mother

the idea of fetal personhood inherently hinges on the idea of believing that a fetus is a separate entity from the mother. the reality is that it is a part of a woman's body just as any other part of a woman's body is. photos of the fetus in the womb give an illusion of separateness from the mother as if it is free floating in space rather than a temporary part of a woman's body. if we viewed the fetus solely for what it is i think it would be much easier for many to reconcile a woman's choice to get an abortion or to prioritize the woman when it comes to medical emergencies during pregnancy. there is a part of my body that is harming me (either physically or mentally) and i do not want it there because of that. we don't view internal organs as having personhood and if there are causing distress to the body they are removed or otherwise dealt with to fix the issue. a fetus is inseparable from the mother until birth in the same way any body part is inseparable from the body. technology has VASTLY played a role in creating this disconnect not only from being able to view the fetus as a solo entity but also in that it is pushing the limits of viability more and more. in the cases where the mother wants to view the fetus as a baby and wants it that is a good thing. but that should not be forced onto any woman and it shouldn't be the choice of anyone else to decide that no. you WILL be forced to have this baby bc there is a slight chance we can make it survive outside of you if you were to give birth to it at this point despite the fact that it is meant to be a piece of your body until it becomes ready to separate from you. the personhood of women requires the acknowledgement that a fetus is not a person until it becomes one through detaching from the mother and being born. fr!
