I Don't: The Case Against Marriage by Clementine Ford

3.0

---

A lot interesting history sums up the case against marriage - and the epilogue was by far the best. This book centres Ford's experiences and those of her friends and Instagram crowd. So you might not relate to way she provides retorts from opponents to her views, or the hyperbolic extremes her examples get to. I wished those examples and manifestations had more nuanced than dickboy crybaby. I feel like there were most nuanced in the post-marriage servitude and post-baby sex discussions. We mainly only hear about western and white feminist critiques - but again this is Clem's perspective. A bit abrasive in some way, but I enjoyed it because I already agreed with the message, and this strengthened my determination to stay unmarried.
