[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's amazing to me to contrast the comments in this thread--where everyone seems certain that women are screwed over by marriage--with the threads where women are pissed that they can't get a man to settle down and marry. Why is it that worldly, well educated women want something that is so bad for them?[/quote]

It *amazes* you that two different groups of women could say different things? Your mind will be completely blown, then, when you hear that there are even more groups of women: women who love being married, women who are completely indifferent to it, women who think marriage is evil, women who want to be married but only if they find a man who is obviously devoted to them, and so on and so forth. The group who is "pissed that they can't get a man to settle down and marry" is fast dwindling, however. [/quote]

So maybe then you can't really generalize about who benefits from marriage the most? Sounds like some posters in this thread -- maybe you are one -- should take that advice to heart.[/quote]

Another shocker here: you can, because research has been done on it. You can look at lots of different metrics and see who benefits the most. Generally. Because we are *generalizing*. [/quote]

Can you cite to the research that makes this point?

That aside, it is curious that you could generalize in that way, yet women who should know better nevertheless want to get married. Makes you wonder.[/quote]
