No offense to op or anything but u guys sound like my mom trying to convince me that arranged marriage isn't so bad when I was in middle school lol

Actually it's even worse bc my parents were actually sympathetic to the girlboss argument. By which I mean the "I want autonomy over my life" argument

#by all means do the arranged marriage trope idrc but ppl assume the worst about arranged marriage bc it is a tool of classed patriarchy #yes the women function as reproductive vessels to horde and pass down wealth (& they r often insulated from poverty)#at the same time these processes r carried out via marital rape. violation of bodily and financial automomy. etc #i for one appreciate complex negative portrayals of the institution as it impacts upper/middle class women as well as poor women!
