“Shame is dead”
Was he 50 years old?
“Let children between the ages of 1 and 5 be raised in a household of mothers and their female kin. Let the men/husbands/boyfriends come in once or twice a week to build shelves, prepare that bouillabaisse, or provide sex.”
Oh, OK, sure, if you say so, lady. But what if we don’t like bouillabaisse?
More like 3,000 years old by the columnist’s reckoning.

And she’s right — about everything.
More job security for priests, if only they could seize the moment!
Men have been the adulterers for eons and women sucked it up in order to maintain financial continuity for their children.
Now that women have been ‘liberated’, they have become, why libertines of course.
Shame on cuckolding men and women, and the homewreckers who assist in the destruction of our childrens’ right to a stable, moral family structure. Just wait until the children leave the nest if you must behave like studs and sluts.
And that’s all I have to say about that.

Just another self-absorbed feminist b****’s version of Utopia.
If you're gay.
That's just crazy talk.
This is the “It’s all about me” generation. During “love’s” first blush, we cater to the object of our affection. Then it gets tedious as real life sets in. Emotionally we want carnivals and circuses. And there is now nothing to tell us that’s not the way to live and will never bring true happiness.
That's just crazy talk.
Have a friend who is getting a divorce. Told me he got in trouble and " everyone does it".
I told him no not everyone, I have been married 29years and not cheated.
I would like to hear from this author in a few years, when she has become dis-enchanted with her fling (or vice-versa) and longs for the boring stability that she (AND her children) once had. It’s sad and sickening that this “cosmo-girl” mentality is nothing more than a dead-end street for so many women.
For what purpose would a Male agree to this arrangement?
Why agree to this “contract”
It screams “I don't need you for anything”
Strangely I have some sympathy to the argument that Marriage is a “contract” or a “Covenant”
And should have nothing to do with Governance and Law except by mutual consent.
By this viewpoint, each marriage is precisely defined by those within it,
or by Covenant - a Contract with God
Divorce and infidelity, from this standpoint would be
dealt with primarily as a breach of Contract
not as a Breach of Common Law
Polygamy and Same Gender unions would be no different than
Polyandry, Plural Marriages, and Bestial Unions
Unless it is a Covenant Marriage in which the
Contract is defined by God, and so are the expectations
This, I believe, is the correct approach
But I'm not so sure it is so much a matter of Governance and Law
Let alone, regulated and supported by coercive taking - Taxation
But the issues with regard to Societal supports, insurance, etc.
would be a null concept, except by mutual consent
Well, I also wonder what happens when the kids reach age 6. Ship them off to public school boot camp?

I almost upchucked lunch reading about this Atlantic magazine article. As it is, I subscribe to the Atlantic, and I haven’t read this article since I’m here at a conference. I’m not the catch of the day, certainly, but I can express a certain charm when I want to, and last night this little hot thing from Russia working at a local watering hole starting coming on to me. Flattering, sure. And during this whole round of little flirations and casual questions, all I could think about was my wife and son - and how a leap into bed could be the gunshot wound to the heart of my marriage. I paid my bill and walked out. Then I read about this twit writer and her utter lack of care about her children and her husband, and her dumbass idea that somehow men don’t need, deserve, or want a cohesive, loving family.
When I get home I plan on reading this article and then giving this immoral slattern a piece of my mind. Perhaps she can use it to fill in the hole in her consciousness.
Perhaps she grew up believing that since her face isn’t pretty enough she is well within her rights to abandon or neglect those who are closest to her. Just a wild theory.
She may never become disenchanted with her fling. It sounds like it was a bad idea for her to be married to anyone in the first place.
