Debunking the Myth: Marriage Happiness and Feminist Partners
âThe only way to have a happy marriage is to never choose a feminist in the first place. There is no other way.â
Summary
Research shows marital happiness is influenced by a range of factors such as effort, agreement, and sexual intimacy, not solely by whether a partner identifies as a feminist. Feminist scholars and studies demonstrate that marriage can be compatible with feminist values and can be fulfilling, while other evidence indicates single women may report higher happiness but does not prove that avoiding feminists is the only path to a happy marriage. Therefore, the statement is unsubstantiated.

- Marriage Is About Choice So Can It Ever Be Feminist? | Glamour UK
Itâs objective is to give women and marginalised genders expanded rights and the ability to self-actualise without state or patriarchal intervention, but âchoice feminismâ, however â a brittle version, where all decisions are branded as justifiably feminist by dint of being made by a woman â is another beast. It is not something I subscribe to, so Iâm not going to re-brand my choice to marry a feminist act to avoid discussion. It isnât. Choices donât happen in a vacuum; they donât remove me from participating in a system.
