Quoting someone who said this in a gaia post:
Marriage for love is a relatively new idea in the scope of human history. More often then not, marriage in the past has been for power, wealth, diplomacy, etc.
hooha.
there, something to think about, whee.
because we've all because disobedient prats and won't marry who our parents want us to marry, ahaha.
But yeah. Times've changed. 'tis a whole new era.
Down with arranged marriages.
Oh well.
We're just pawns in evolution and the course of the universe and time and stuffs like that.
Let's not think too highly of ourselves.
After thousands and thousands of years, women are finally realizing that they do have rights and are not inferior to men.
Where the hell have they been before that, then?
