But more importantly, I want it to prevent marriages. Women are allowed to aspire to more than what we’ve been told we should want in order to be happy. Let yourself have a bigger dream than becoming the supporting role in someone else’s story.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy, when there is so much evidence of the detrimental, suffocating impact marriage has on women’s lives, does the myth of marital bliss still prevail? If the feminist project has been so successful, why do so many women still believe that our value is intrinsically tied to being chosen by a man?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn her most incendiary and controversial book to date, Clementine Ford exposes the lies used to sell marriage to women to keep them in service to men and male power. From the roots of marriage as a form of property transaction to the wedding industrial complex, Clementine Ford explains how capitalist patriarchal structures need women to believe in marriage in order to maintain control over women’s agency, ambitions and freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eI Don’t\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003epresents an inarguable case against marriage for modern women. With the incisive attention to detail and razor-sharp wit that characterises her work, Ford dissects the patriarchal history of marriage; the insidious, centuries-long marketing campaign pop culture has conducted in marriage’s favour; the illusion of feminist ‘choice’ in regard to taking men’s names; and the physical and social cost that comes with motherhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut most importantly, Clementine Ford shows us what a different kind of world could look like for women if we were allowed to be truly free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eType: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Great condition, general wear and tear\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarks\/Annotations: None\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePage count: 370 pages \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bg-alternate\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"py-12 md:py-16 lg:py-20\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"max-w-site empty:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"site-px mt-5 flex max-w-site lg:mt-9\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative w-full\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"overflow-hidden will-change-transform\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex ml-0 mt-5 gap-2.5 lg:mt-0 lg:gap-5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" class=\"min-w-0 shrink-0 grow-0 w-full basis-[165px] justify-items-center pl-0 transition-all md:basis-[328px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"w-full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"h-full w-[165px] lg:w-[328px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-[168px] h-[295px] rounded-xl border-b-[48px] border-b-brand-sand bg-brand-white lg:mb-[180px] lg:h-[500px] lg:rounded-none\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" class=\"min-w-0 shrink-0 grow-0 w-full basis-[165px] justify-items-center pl-0 transition-all md:basis-[328px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"w-full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"h-full w-[165px] lg:w-[328px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-[168px] h-[295px] rounded-xl border-b-[48px] border-b-brand-sand bg-brand-white lg:mb-[180px] lg:h-[500px] lg:rounded-none\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" class=\"min-w-0 shrink-0 grow-0 w-full basis-[165px] justify-items-center pl-0 transition-all md:basis-[328px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"w-full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"h-full w-[165px] lg:w-[328px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-[168px] h-[295px] rounded-xl border-b-[48px] border-b-brand-sand bg-brand-white lg:mb-[180px] lg:h-[500px] lg:rounded-none\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" class=\"min-w-0 shrink-0 grow-0 w-full basis-[165px] justify-items-center pl-0 transition-all md:basis-[328px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"w-full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"h-full w-[165px] lg:w-[328px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-[168px] h-[295px] rounded-xl border-b-[48px] border-b-brand-sand bg-brand-white lg:mb-[180px] lg:h-[500px] lg:rounded-none\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" class=\"min-w-0 shrink-0 grow-0 w-full basis-[165px] justify-items-center pl-0 transition-all md:basis-[328px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"w-full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"h-full w-[165px] lg:w-[328px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-[168px] h-[295px] rounded-xl border-b-[48px] border-b-brand-sand bg-brand-white lg:mb-[180px] lg:h-[500px] lg:rounded-none\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex justify-center lg:hidden\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 z-40 flex w-full justify-start p-4 pb-7 text-center transition-opacity duration-300 md:justify-center opacity-100\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"invisible h-px w-full\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/main\u003e","brand":"litsy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54234436108587,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/1001\/0155\/files\/image00042.jpg?v=1785217101","url":"https:\/\/lit-sy.com\/products\/i-dont-the-case-against-marriage-clementine-ford","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
