Post Re: Traditional Marriage

Natural Childbirth. The center of discussion on a thread about "Traditional Marriage".

Oh. Fxashun is here. That explains everything.

This focus seems trivial compared to other issues. Like if a child were born by Caesarian, does that automatically negate certain rights of inheritance between mother/father and child?

While some may consider "traditional marriage" to be superior, that's not really an issue.
Some people consider whites superior to blacks and christians superior to jews. Perhaps some statistical data can be offered to substantiate those claims.

But regardless, the two different groups are TREATED equally despite any individual beliefs on superiority.

If a "traditional marriage" is considered to be "man is the head of the household", we don't disregard the marital rights of couples who don't have man as the "head of the household". And vice versa.

Cause quite frankly, there is no REAL "traditional marriage". Even the modern expectations of "traditional marriage" are in flux compared to how long the concept has existed.
Perhaps a more accurate description would be "ideal marriage", because it involves some people's IDEALS as to what a "marriage" should be...
"Tradition" just sounds better for propaganda purposes, just like "attacking traditional marriage" sounds more like a rallying cry than "wanting to ensure that only one ideal of marriage is recognized"...
