You know there's a story in Indian mythology of a dude needing to kill a demon and asks a sage for help. Sage says use my bones dies and gets crafted into a mace that is then used to successfully kill the demon.

There's a separate story of Vishnu killing a demon and fashioning his bones into a mace. So yeah maces.

Get a prenup if that's your only issue. Married taxes are better, and being auto beneficiary is also useful (e.g. social security survivors benefits). With the right person insurances and credit score/limit are better. Sometimes just hospital visits require being a relation. Immigration for coming to or going to another country is easier.

Marriage is showing your commitment legally/bureaucratically so that your bond isn't questioned easily both individuals also gain financial benefits from it.

While I'm sure this is true, keeping the presidency away from the facists is still a good thing. If Dems+people voting for the lesser evil can't show up enough to prevent Rs taking congress the least we can do is have the Whitehouse stopping some of the Republican shitfuckery. It wouldn't save us but it should slow our descent, give us more time to fix things.

Rs are going to the polls anyway and an R who shows up to the polls without feeling like they have an option (because their media lies to them)will still vote Trump. Votes being taken away from him are a good thing.

Honestly if you can position your anus to be in the focus of a telescope that's kinda impressive.

Two wrongs don't make a right. Also pretty terrible to blame one dude for the faults of an entire national industry.

It's a pretty common thing in many cultures. Even among less conservative people gender biases are common.

Girls are also more likely to get forced into chores and caring for siblings.
