Sticking to a "dual-sex marriage only" agenda doesn't preserve the value of women, nor the sanctity of the institution. Many dual-sex marriages do a splendid job of devalueing both on their own. • Men who marry "arm trophies" just for that specific reason • Women who marry for money (in which case, the women devalue themselves) • Marriages that stay together "only for the kids", even though partners despise each other • Dual-sex marriages where one partner is gay but wants/is pressured to keep up appearances • "Arranged" marriages (...the latter two being more rare but still taking place). In the instance of a "two-tux" wedding, women aren't in the picture beforehand, thus the act of performing the rite of confirmation does nothing further to impart any sense of (lesser) value upon women. In light of all the above, committing to a lasting union with the person you truly love is (at the very least) a bit more &#151 honest? "I don't understand how you can go from the "pursuit of happiness" straight to the right of a person to marry who (or even what) they choose to marry."
