@MountainMcRae @_letterbxmb Maybe he’s just in the relationship for sex.

[Thomistic Disputations @TDisputations]

@Voidisthu4g @_letterbxmb It requires mutual agreement and isn’t the norm.

[Thomistic Disputations @TDisputations]

@spookytheNinth @_letterbxmb That’s something you’d have to both agree too, though.

Imagine if a woman marries a man with the expectation of having children and then at 36 he’s like “sorry, I changed my mind.”

Like he literally wasted her time and potentially ruined her chance at having kids.

[Thomistic Disputations @TDisputations]

@_letterbxmb Have you ever thought to ask why we give legal protections to people who marry? Maybe there’s some kind of underlying difference between roommates and married people?

[Thomistic Disputations @TDisputations]

@_letterbxmb You don’t need marriage to have kids, but historically we required marriage before having kids to protect women from men abandoning them to care for the children by themselves. It serves a purpose.

“Legal protections”

Then why are there laws against marrying your siblings?

[Thomistic Disputations @TDisputations]

@MountainMcRae @_letterbxmb You can share a bond with a commit to the care and happiness of your mother, but it’s be weird to marry your mother because marriage is sexual in nature.

[Thomistic Disputations @TDisputations]

@elladeonRH You have to contrast that post against the post claiming housewives are slaves.

I’m using their same sort of dumb semantic argument to the opposite effect. I don’t actually believe there is anything wrong with women spending 80% of the family’s income.

[Thomistic Disputations @TDisputations]

Women make 80% of the purchasing decisions.

What do you call it when someone makes 100% of the money, but only gets to spends 20% of it?

[Diane Yap @RealDianeYap]

Women are PAID to work for their employers.

What is one word for unpaid work? Yup, slavery.

[Thomistic Disputations @TDisputations]

@LavaCat79 When they say the husband gets a salary and the woman doesn’t so she’s a slave, that makes it sound like the salary is his money.

[Thomistic Disputations @TDisputations]

@_letterbxmb So what is marriage for in your mind then?

A huge part of a reason people get married is to have a healthy way to deal with sexual desire. Also to have children.

[Thomistic Disputations @TDisputations]

@LavaCat79 I’m starting from feminist presuppositions here that the husband gets a salary and the woman is a slave. Their view is that all of the money he earns is his money.

That’s not my view.

[Thomistic Disputations @TDisputations]

@LavaCat79 I don’t think he should do that though. They are married, so they share the money.

[Thomistic Disputations @TDisputations]

@_letterbxmb In the later case, you’re just elevating your preferences over your spouse’s needs, which is why it’s selfish and immoral.

[Thomistic Disputations @TDisputations]

@_letterbxmb There are different degrees of not being in the mood to do something. That’s what I’m pointing out with the example.

Anything from I had a terrible day at work and I have a headache, to I could get into it, but I’d rather do something else.

[Thomistic Disputations @TDisputations]

@LavaCat79 I mean, first of all, it you’ve ever seen a single guy’s apartment, you’d know it’s mostly for her.

Secondly, how would it differ if she had her own salary? She’d still have to buy groceries, decor, etc.

[Thomistic Disputations @TDisputations]

@_letterbxmb I didn’t say they were comparable. I was just using it as an example of being reasonable.

[Thomistic Disputations @TDisputations]

@_letterbxmb …but he can’t be like “I just never want to hear how you feel again.”

[Thomistic Disputations @TDisputations]

@_letterbxmb It has to be with in reason, obviously.

To contrast it, if a husband doesn’t feel like listening to his wife’s feelings, with in reason, he should do it anyway, right?

Sure, there are more extreme circumstances where he is just so beat from work, say, and can’t handle it…

[Thomistic Disputations @TDisputations]

@elladeonRH And if her husband gave her 80k of his income as a salary, and they had a separate budget, she wouldn’t have to buy necessities like groceries? Of course she would.

You’re not a slave because you have to pay for necessities.

[Thomistic Disputations @TDisputations]

@DissentMaster My point is only that infidelity isn’t ok because Jim Bob over here wrote on a piece of paper saying it is.

[Thomistic Disputations @TDisputations]

“Infidelity is immoral, unless government officials sign off on it first. Then it’s totally ok.”

Modern people are so unserious.

[Skipthisadd @Skipthisadd23]

Maybe that’s it’s me, but that’s not an excuse to cheat in your wife.
If you’ve lost interest in her, or the marriage is failing, just get a divorce and go be with the girl you want to be with.

Better yet, go jerk off if it’s that much of a problem for you.
Usually Im positive on a lot of things, but if you cheat on your husband or wife and your only excuse is “oh they wouldn’t sleep with me” you’re a shallow piece of shit who deserves to die alone. End of story.

@LavaCat79 Slavery isn’t any time you have duties and obligations you have to fulfill.
