To be able to create the outcomes that we want in our lives, sometimes we have to tone down the drama in our brains.

307. Feminist Marriage Brain Part 2 — Marriage Ambivalence

September 14, 2023 09:00 - 20 minutes - 28.8 MB

As a historically patriarchal institution, marriages of the past benefited the man far more than the woman. A man and woman became one legal entity, but the woman was essentially absorbed by her husband — she couldn’t hold a profession or make legal decisions for herself. She existed for procreation and unpaid labor. So what happens when despite knowing all of the statistics and all of the history, you think you still might want to get married? In part 2 of this series about my engagement, I...
