Feminism and Diversity

In which society, and our government, leave behind single people, especially women. Lots of benefits afforded to married couples and incentives and pressures to pair off- I get that. And I think we should push back against that. But a couple thoughts. Some of the parts of marriage that have traditionally been most harmful to women (and men, btw) have to do with traditional gender roles that this ruling, and current changes in how people see marriage, can actually help change. And, while I don't personally feel the drive, I can be happy for people who do want to make and celebrate a loving committment to each other. Especially couples like my two friends who have been together for decades but who will now have the security of knowing that their siblings will no longer have more legal rights and recognized relationship than they do to each other.
