Abusive is too wide of term that covers too many things. Marriages can be hard if it’s a partnership of equals. It needs to move back to the paradigm where the husband is the primary dominant and makes all the decisions. The wife needs to be submissive. Marriages of this variety are easy. We already have domestic violence laws in place so there are safeguards in place against actual abuse.

Good god no. That kind is patriarchal bullshit is on its way out, and good riddance. I kind of suspect you are just trolling here.

And so are birthrates, as a result.

I wasn’t trolling. It’s probably my least progressive viewpoint but honestly I don’t see a society that can continue to make technological progress without it. The patriarchy isn’t going anywhere, if anything it is only growing in the US GOP, East Asia, South Asia, Eastern Europe and Russia, the Middle East, Australia, Africa and Latin America.
