(I haven't even started on the property and sexist aspects yet. This is one of those discussions for which we need several beers and a good long evening ahead of us.)

Goddamn - looks like I've have to come visit you at some point then. I'm not waiting two years to deal with conversatis interruptus.

I will say, cos I can, that in general the property aspects tend to work better for women than men on the ending of a heterosexual relationship. Which is as it should be, as it's usually the women that give up their jobs to raise kids.

I was meaning the traditional connotations of woman=property, but you just gave me even more stuff to run with ;)

Property aspects tend to work better for women? ... hah!

Dammit. I have to head off to the BL to work.

Have a lovely day. I'm just out of the shower myself and about to head that way :->

As in, on divorce, it's generally women that get property from men, which they would not get if they hadn't been married, and therefore given a legal right to it.

And I don't, and never have, given a damn about traditional connotations of anything. Thankfully I don't live in the 1740s, 1890s or even the 1970s. I'm primarily interested in the status and uses of marriage in 2007 Britain.

Yay, come to Sydney! We hoping to find a flat with a spare room for guests...

I'll add it to the plan...
