"arguing that it has harmed men and even destroyed the fabric of society."

Ahh yes, the injustice of the millennium. Abusive, asshole men can't keep their wives against their will...

Last year, the popular right-wing podcaster Steven Crowder announced his own unwilling split. “My then-wife decided that she didn’t want to be married anymore,” he complained, “and in the state of Texas, that is completely permitted.”

I mean, women only exist to be owned by their husbands, after all.

Next after that is "legalized discrimination against the unmarried".
