I rarely hear the alternative explanation that speaks most to me: marriage as an institution is currently a segregated privilege. I do not want to participate, lest I lend it some small sliver of legitimacy.

Where are the articles talking about the people who don't get married because they no longer need a plausible cover for their sexuality? Or because they are creating loving non-traditional families? Or those like me who empathize with those who are disallowed from participating?

(These are not rhetorical questions, if you know of such research going on I would like to read it!)

I suppose it's easier to blame the newfangled interwebs and kids these days, rather than talk about the very real social changes that are taking place.
