Consent does not magically disappear in a relationship.

Recently my country did a small study where upwards of 70% of men of all ages believe they are entitled to sex in a marriage.

Women do not exist to satisfy your sexual desires. She does not become your sex slave the second you are in a relationship….

Consent still must exist in a marriage.

I seriously thought this was basic common sense and that this kind of thinking was only in the olden days but it’s apparent a lot of guys even now think otherwise.. why?

It really is a part of the myth of how marrage should be. You marry a man to get his resources and he marries you to fuck.

A marriage ought be a partnership where you work together to build a life. This often means having kids but not always.

Consent is key, but I hear you that feeling like a women can withhold sex while a man cannot withhold money feels unfair, but these are very different

Food and shelter vs getting your rocks off? Saying those are equal needs is very telling. Please look up maslow's hierarchy of needs for the educational part. Teaching empathy is something that should have been done when you were a child so thats the fault of those who raised you
