To help Free Men with what they say to others, and to help explain why men stay free, I will occasionally post sample dialogue.
Marriage Seller: Why aren't you married?
Free Man: Why would I want to sign a contract that legally shifts over half of my earnings to somebody else?
MS: You're not looking at marriage the right way.
FM: I'm looking at it the way the law treats it.
MS: Marry a woman who has a job?
FM: Why? My income pays for my lifestyle. Why would I want to add someone to my home who earns less than I do, meaning my earnings will still be legally shifted to her, who will increase expenses and take over most of the spending decisions, purchasing things and services I don't want and won't be using? I could be obligated to make ongoing payments to her should she leave me or should I find I can't tolerate her anymore. Also, she can quit her job and it will be like she never had one, as far as community property and alimony goes. What happens if my career path becomes incompatible with hers? If she has a bad day at work I can forget about sex that evening and have someone in a bad mood darkening my residence. No thanks!
Stay free, men!
