Most of the time it is men whom you find denouncing marriage. Like me, or like Bill Maher. But my dentist told me years ago that married men live longer and take better care of themselves.
How about women, do they really like married life? I know they get all silly when one of their friends is getting married, and they say that they want it. Sometimes they seem to demand it, but then what?
Julia Ward Howe invented Mother's Day. But then commercial and religious interests made it into the opposite of what she had intended.
The Boston home she shared with her husband had been a stop on the Underground Railroad. And she and her husband were of just a handful of people the Senate investigated for supporting John Brown's Raid. And then it was Julia Ward Howe who wrote the words to change the popular song "John Brown's Body" into "Battle Hymn of the Republic".
But Julia Ward Howe was also famous for how much she hated married life.
Nothing explains the ordeal the women of my mother's generation faced better than this:

The protagonist was married to a medical doctor. And she keeps repeating that she is thus doing what everyone says she should do. But it is horrid.
The only women I have met who seemed to enjoy housewifery were in religious groups. And it always seemed that the real purpose of the religion was just to sustain them in horrid marriages.
Most women today see domesticity as a trap.
Do women like married life?
