Vulnerability by Marriage

from Modern Feminist Manifesto by Nyentek

/

lyrics

Gendered family radically limits the quality of opportunity of women and girls
Of all classes, as well as that of poor and working class children of box sexes
Some instances of vulnerability that may at first appear natural
Are in fact to a greater or lesser extent due to existing social arrangements

Marriage and the family
As currently practiced in our society
Are unjust institutions
They constitute the pivot of a societal system of gender
That renders women vulnerable to dependency, exploitation, and abuse

Socialization and the culture, in general, place more emphasis on marriage for girls than for boys, and young women are more likely than young men to regard having a good marriage and family as important
A cycle of power relations and decisions pervades both family and workplace, and the inequalities of each reinforce those that already exist in the other

Marriage and the family
As currently practiced in our society
Are unjust institutions
They constitute the pivot of a societal system of gender
That renders women vulnerable to dependency, exploitation, and abuse

Marriage
