32. Marriage is gradually dying out, and there is no going back to the fifties.

Home economics was absolute BULLSHIT when I was in school. It was forced upon girls to prepare them for marriage and kids. Eff that shit for those of us not interested in either. Title IX banned the teaching of home economics solely to girls. It is now radically different and both boys and girls enroll in it. It is not called "home economics" anymore and hasn't been called that for decades. It is not about "marriage" preparation as it was pre-1972, training girls to be wives.

Nope, no going back. Marriage isn't necessary for anything anymore. Its purpose is obsolete and has been for centuries. Thank god for that.
