blackenedbutterfly:

Traditional Marriage includes…
1691: Whites only
1724: Blacks with permission of slave owner
1769: The wife is property
1899: ~~Polygamous~~ Monogamous
1900: The wife can own property
1965: Contraception legal
1967: Interracial couples
1975: Wife can have credit in her name
1981: ~~Husband owns all property~~
1993: ~~Legal marital rape~~
20??: Same-sex marriage

Just another example of why the “marriage has been the same for centuries!!!’ argument is complete and utter bullshit.

Thirty years ago — thirty years, 30, three-zero — the husband legally owned all the property. Wow.

  Depends on how you define rape. “Honey I have a headache” “Please?” “Ok, fine.” This is deemed coercion and counts as...
