Marriage, but not marriage

Chairm has a great way of pointing out what happens when we try to merge non-marriage (i.e. a form of relationship which is not a marriage) with marriage. We essentially end up with a non-marriage de-facto result.

Here's the other angle. What happens when people try to re-create marriage out of non-marriage? From Masculinisme...

Of course if there had been a male pill available, and Tom was using it he would not have been fooled by this woman's trickery and deceit. Even if he hadn't been taking the pill the knowledge of it's existence might have prevented the woman from trying to dupe him into 'fatherhood'.

Feminist's main objection to the male pill is that women might not trust their partners to remember to take it. A fairly pathetic argument given all the contraceptive methods already available to women. If a woman is really that worried about her partners memory, she has lots of other options she can choose unilaterally.

Could the feminist's real reason be more along the lines of protecting lying women like this one, so that they can extort money out of unsuspecting men?

What do you get? A lot of potential for abuse of either gender. That is why marriage equality means the quality of participation of each gender in each marriage.
