And a message which I'm going to interpret in a Christian way. I realise that this is the biggest problem with most modern discourse, it says the right words, but it means the wrong things. Even the word Marriage is misused. Nowadays, we have biological mothers and surrogate mothers, birth mothers and adoptive mothers, working mothers, single mothers, foster mothers, honourary mothers, the Earth mother, and on and on. And the problem is, they're absolutely right.
Women are more than bodies in which to grow babies.
Having this one idea right though, predictably enough, off they all run in the wrong direction. And if children could raise themselves, this would work, quite well. I think, perhaps, the whole of human history would be a good deal less complicated if the bright spark who invented the word happy had dropped a rock on his foot instead. No one can make you happy. And, if immortal souls weren't involved, this would probably work.
