The hypocrisy of the marriage institution comes under fire in these writings, an essay published in 1910 and a speech delivered in 1915. ...As to the protection of the woman therein lies the curse of marriage. Not that it really protects her, but the very idea is so revolting, such an outrage and insult on life, so degrading to human dignity, as to forever condemn this parasitic institution. It is like that other paternal arrangement capitalism. It robs man of his birthright, stunts his growth, poisons his body, keeps him in ignorance, in poverty and dependence, and then institutes charities that thrive on the last vestige of mans self-respect.
