The superficial (and idiotic) nature of the discourse
is what I find most disturbing about this, and similar nonsensical phrases thrown around our national media.
What does it even mean to say "marriage is under attack"? It's a meaningless non-sequitur, a piece of agitprop mindlessly repeated ad nauseam - and it stills means strictly nothing.
More to the point, human partnerships/relationships/unions frequently fail for any number of reasons, some individual, some societal. Marriage being an artificial construct steeped in lore, religion, emotions and unrealistic expectations, it is not too surprising it fails so often, all on its own.
Abolish this outdated relic of a social convention, and be done with it, is what I say.
