Don't forget, Snow White and Cinderella lived at "times" where if they were turned out of their homes, there was no option for them other than to find a man who would support them as they had no money, no assets. Not to mention, being spinsters was a lousy option in the mind of most women, as they would be deemed failures and they would have no money as they grew old.
Today, there is no such excuse in the US...and that lawyer woman, I'm not sure if she wanted someone more sucessful than her, or someone who would make about the same money as her. I think many sucessful and wealthy women are afraid that they would attract only leeches. Then again, maybe she was that shallow.
I can understand that there are many women who would look down at men past their teenage years working at Mcdonalds, and cross them off the list of potential dates. I probably would do the same...most people want someone who is going somewhere, not stagnitating in one place. That McD worker would have to have a fantastic personality for most people to overlook his/her lack of a progressive job.
I beleive there is a term sucessful black women use for looking up potential black dates, BMW. They want the black men they date to work, hence Black Man Working. I have no idea if this is real or made up. But by this monkier, it looks as if it is so very difficult to find a black man who is actually sucessful and works. So a black woman would try and snag one of those so that if they do get married and have a family, he will be able to support them, and not be a deadbeat.
As for gay marriages, I saw that thing that the Mass court is working on, which is confusing to me..maybe someone can enlighten me better than the news articles out there. They are looking to ban gay marriages but allow civil unions? What is the difference?
On the inheritance and guardianship issues for gay couples, can't they draw up a will saying my life partner gets my house, etc etc, and he gets guardianship of the kid that I adopted to get around the no-marriage privleges? Or are there laws that blood relatives get first dibs anyway?
I myself, don't mind gay marriage. I don't beleive it is the right of the government to tell two consenting adults they can't marry. It's just like in the earlier part of the last century where it was the rule that you couldn't marry outside your race. Where is that now? Outside of family and possibly religious disapproval, people are marrying across racial lines. I know many mixed race couples, married or not. And while there is this huge controversy about marriage between two consenting, same-sex adults, what about the non consenting people who are forced into marriage everyday in this country? I would say that is wrong...parents cannot force their children to marry young or to marry someone they don't know or don't like.
Also, someone said something about some gay people having a 'husband of the week' and that it wouldn't be good for them to marry because the divoce rat would be high. The answer to that is, not all gay people are like that, and that there are hetero people who are like that. Those types of people don't get married. They have relationships however often they like. I would just prefer that they never have children that their superficial relationships would screw up. If they are stupid enough to get married then they get mired in the cost of the wedding, the cost of the divorce, the cost of the lawyers, etc etc. They would think twice before they think of getting married again for flimsy reasons.
As for the divorce rate.....financial troubles is a reason that many give, but it really is that the couple grew too far apart and no longer was on the same side of things. They just pick one thing or another to fight over. Although it is true, if someone happened to ruin their financial status in some way that it puts enormous stress on a marriage. So sometimes the reason is the reason why a marriage broke up.
