plantation weddings are weird

Agreed. Why would you start your new life with someone on a monument to evil. That energy is still there

What do you think the father handing over the bride to a suitor is? Treating her like property, like a deed to be transferred

A woman putting on a wedding dress is exactly like a black person putting on manacles.

Any woman who gets married degrades herself, makes herself property, contributes to purity culture and patriarchy, and actively participates in her oppression.

Then don’t get married.

I can’t tell if you’re serious or if you’re an antifeminist mocking feminism. Yes the symbolism is there and it’s from our culture’s history of treating women like property. Yes marriage and the norms around it *tend to* reinforce these dynamics albeit in a less overt way than before. But to generalize this to all weddings/marriages is not helpful. And to compare it to American chattel slavery is insane

modern day marraige isnt usually for oppression, not saying it doesnt exist, but it should be seen as a union between two people who feel they are better as a pair than on their own. both are still their own people so no one is actually oppressed like you say and its apparant your view is outdated and very clearly influenced by media. so go touch some grass for once and actually do research before more wild claims come out of your mouth.
