Infinite sex glitch!
Don't threaten ME with a good time.
Interesting we ended up in the violent incel future instead of this one eh
A one hour marriage sound good to me. What the hell make it two.
Interesting that allowing women to vote created a situation where women felt it less absolutely necessary to get married. Because after a while, their voice had to be considered when discussing bills like prohibiting banks from refusing bank accounts, home loans, and credit cards to women.
I don't suppose this is fighting against the assumption that marriage is a part of becoming a fully-fledged adult. So is the fear in this reality that you'd get force-bethrothed to an ugly woman (let's not hold a mirror on that too long)? But what about the beautiful women? Are they given last pick or something?
Or, perhaps, would the beautiful women marry someone else, and you would be the dregs for the late, unlucky woman to scrape off the bottom of the barrel?
all the authors really needed out of it was to get the viewer thinking about how we could frame relationships with others in terms of market forces, so that the political discussions surrounding the issue would have more people thinking about their own sexual or social prospects in consideration of “what kinds of unexpected consequences might occur if this new development goes through, and how could it impact me or perhaps other (privileged/entitled/vulnerable) individuals”
So the intended audience is inferred to be “entitled dickheads of old” by my limited capacity for assessment
