About this Quote

This quote by Robin Morgan talks to the concept that marital relationship is a major source of gender inequality. Marriage is frequently seen as a method to manage women, as it is a system that has historically been utilized to restrict females's rights and autonomy. By destroying marriage, Morgan recommends that we can begin to dismantle the class structure that have kept women in a subordinate position for centuries. This quote talks to the idea that marriage is a tool of injustice, and that it is needed to challenge and dismantle this system in order to produce a more fair society. By doing so, we can create a world where men and women are dealt with as equates to, and where gender functions are no longer viewed as a method of control.
