CB, you have got it right, unsurprisingly, after years cleaning up the mess. Marriage is about property. It's only the romantic foolishness which made it any different.

If women would stick with the concept of property and leave the nonsense for private times, they'd do a lot better. They have been conned by romantic delusions of what it's all about.

If it wasn't about property, women could just be like chimps and other mammals and feel randy and go at it and then hunt around for food and shelter and dominance hierarchy support while the resulting offspring develops. Animals don't have property and don't depend on it other than in a territorial conquest sense, which is the male occupation. Humans do.

So, here's what marriage was and is really about.

Male and female get randy when reaching puberty. I should say, more randy as they are already curious enough. Female's family says to bloke hanging around "Watch it mate! If you want to get near her, you have to answer to us which means you have to provide for her and the children which are bound to result and you have to do it for so long that it's basically all your life. So you'd better be sure. There's no way out. See the shotguns?"

Female thinks, "Hmmm, if he gets that thing into me, I'm going to have a baby and that's quite a big deal. I'd better have some guarantees that he is going to provide the necessaries. I'm as randy as hell and I guess he's as good as I'm going to get, pathetic specimen though he is. Where's a rock star when you need one?"

She knows she'll be shop-soiled once she has been in his clutches for long and there are children in tow. She has to pin him down.

The village figures that they don't want any trouble in town and they know that things can rapidly get out of hand with sex and babies and who owns what. So, they all line up and the respective families on both sides and the deal is made. He provides the goods and she provides the services and the children provide the happy sounds of joy, or wailings as they are thrashed for misbehaviour, or fall down a well.

It's all about property. As you know, all too well.

It's about protection of the female and the resulting children. The property is to protect and supply the female and children.

Carl Barks educated me as a child with the Pixilated Parrot who fancied the female parrot [in a Donald Duck/Uncle Scrooge comic]. I still remember him panting after her and she had her foot up on his chest, holding him at bay, saying "Okay Big Boy, Will you iron and clean etc.. " I forget the details; I bet Google has them. He was nodding and saying "Yes, yes, yes..." I'm sure she used the expression Big Boy.

Bingo, but not the direct quote: fortunecity.com An excellent scene nevertheless.
