Several months ago I saw a guy at the gym wearing a shirt that had a stick figure drawing of a bride and groom and underneath it said “Game Over”. And it’s been bothering me ever since… Like I know that’s the typical cis-het dude’s perception of marriage, but I want to go up to every knucklehead and say “Yo. Tell you what. I’ll marry your girlfriend, how bout that? Then you get to keep playing your “game”, I get the gay wedding I always wanted, and your now-ex finally gets appreciated for the lovely woman I’m sure she is… Everybody wins!“
I’m so sick of dudes making marriage into a joke and taking their wives for granted, but then when two women or two men want to cherish each other for the rest of their lives all of a sudden marriage is so sacred…
Whenever I see those shirts it makes me want to go up to the person and be like “HAHAHA, that’s super fucking funny, because on average men’s happiness increases when they’re married and women’s happiness decreases.”
