Interesting we ended up in the violent incel future instead of this one eh

I don't suppose this is fighting against the assumption that marriage is a part of becoming a fully-fledged adult. So is the fear in this reality that you'd get force-bethrothed to an ugly woman (let's not hold a mirror on that too long)? But what about the beautiful women? Are they given last pick or something?

Or, perhaps, would the beautiful women marry someone else, and you would be the dregs for the late, unlucky woman to scrape off the bottom of the barrel?

Interesting that allowing women to vote created a situation where women felt it less absolutely necessary to get married. Because after a while, their voice had to be considered when discussing bills like prohibiting banks from refusing bank accounts, home loans, and credit cards to women.
