Stay single, young man!

April 11, 2005

Marriage, as conceived by God, is a good and fruitful thing. Marriage,
as conceived by the state, is an evil man-trap designed to deprive men
of their property and their children.

For as the Ohio State Bar Association helpfully explains, the marriage
license is:

... a legal contract. There are three parties to that contract. 1.You;
2. Your husband or wife, as the case may be; and 3. the State of
Ohio.

This contract grants the third party jurisdiction over all the
property owned by the first two, as well as anything produced by the
other parties, including children. And it is this marriage license
which gives the state legal power to dictate who gets what in the case
of a divorce.

The explosion of divorce in the latter half of the 20th century and
the commonplace abuse of men in the family "courts" (which are
actually fraudulent executive-branch entities that operate in total
violation of the constitutional law's separation of powers) is bad
enough. But since feminists have discovered how the power of
government can be used to forcibly transform civil society to their
liking, they have been emboldened to make even more creative use of
the state's power over marriage.

In Spain, for example, a law is being passed to force men to do more
housework. Since the vast majority of Spanish men - 81 percent - are
traditionalists who believe that women with school-age children should
stay at home and not work full-time jobs, Spanish feminists are waging
war against them through the national legislature.

As the law's sponsor, Margarita Uria, helpfully explains:

The idea of equality within marriage always stumbles over the problem
of work in the house and caring for dependent people. This will be a
good way of reminding people what their duties are. It is something
feminists have been wanting for a long time.

No doubt they have. Because, according to Marian Salzman, described by
the U.K. Observer as a "trend-spotter extraordinaire," women are
"rejecting equality in the workplace and prefer the idea of becoming
full-time housewives - but not ones who actually do housework ...
women are happy to abandon the workplace, but not if it means spending
all day at home cooking, cleaning and looking after children. Instead,
they want to play the "role" of housewife with a little help from, for
instance, a nanny, and someone who does the ironing."

Her warning should sober even the most infatuated man. "Women think:
'What's mine is mine, and what's his is mine.'"

Since the U.S. Supreme Court now sees fit to take international law
into account when deciding what is and is not constitutional, it can
only be a matter of time before a woman's right to force her husband
to do the ironing or breast-feed the baby is discovered in an
emanation or a penumbra. After all, someone has to do the housework
when mommy is busy sitting on a corporate board, which she'll be doing
as soon as the Norwegian concept of sex-based affirmative action for
company directors crosses the Atlantic.

Young men are already responding to the increasingly odious burden of
marriage by delaying it or avoiding it altogether, but for the most
part, they are doing so without conscious design. It is time for men
to become aware that as the more economically productive class, they
are the natural prey of the government and its family-control
machinery. The courts have already demonstrated that a man - any man -
will do for their purposes when child support is required, even if
that man can be proved to have no relationship to the child.

For non-Christian men, the answer is easy: Avoid marriage at all
costs. Marriage only weakens your legal and emotional positions vis-a-
vis a woman, and since American women will freely provide
companionship, sex and children upon request, to marry is to give up a
great deal for what is literally less than nothing.

A Christian man, on other hand, cannot freely engage in non-committal
sexual relationships, and so must marry. He can improve his odds,
however, by marrying a Christian woman who is not on the career track.
This will significantly increase the chances that he will not find
himself at the legal mercy of a sociopath obsessed with momentary
happiness Yber alles, but blessed by a traditional wife committed to
building a family and a life together with him instead.

But is it possible for a Christian couple to avoid the state's
machinery of control and still marry before God? Yes, according to
pastor Matt Trewhella. "What's recorded in a family Bible will stand
up as legal evidence in any court of law in America. Early Americans
were married without a marriage license. They simply recorded their
marriages in their family Bibles. So should we."
