Ban straight marriage

Amanda at Pandagon finds a UK Independent story that reports, “Research will this week say that the more committed and successful a woman is at work, the worse her partner feels” and can think of only one possible solution:

we must ban straight marriage immediately. It’s a lose-lose proposition--it’s making men sick and taking women’s freedom. The argument against opposite-sex marriages is clearly stronger than against same-sex marriages. After all, when it’s two men or two women getting married, it’s sort of hard to figure out which one is obligated to give up their life outside and which one is entitled to domestic service.
