- I refuse to be tied down to anyone. - Good. Good for you. - You think so? - Are you kidding? To have that kind of courage? Especially someone from your generation. - Really? - Yeah, what they don’t tell us is that marriage is an anachronistic institution created for the sole convenience of the father who needs to pass off his daughters over to the care of another man, like, “Here, here, she eats too much. Take her off my hands”. But now that we’ve gotten our independence, that we earn our own livings, there’s no purpose in being someone’s wife. Why can’t we love as many people as we want in a lifetime? Monogamy is really a very unnatural state that’s been forced on us for centuries by screwed-up religious leaders who are completely out of touch with their own sexuality. You know what I mean? - Have you been talking to your fiance about any of this?
