Yikes, I do not want arranged marriags. I'm all for respecting cultures and traditions, but I cannot support out dated sexist traditions, and I don't want them anywhere near my sims game.

That sounds a very biased and not respectful at all. Arranged marriages ≠ forced marriage and there are many sucessful arranged marriages. Its just a cultural difference. It would be an optional feature anyways so its nothing for you to be upset about.

I don't care if it doesn't sound respectful, because I don't respect it.


ar·ranged mar·riage
/əˈrānjd ˈmerij/
Learn to pronounce
noun
a marriage planned and agreed to by the families or guardians of the bride and groom, who have little or no say in the matter themselves.


This doesn't sound optional to me ?

I have no issues with families setting up partners for their children, who then get an actual say in the matter (and are not coersed into saying yes, there's a difference between consent and pressuring someone to consent reluctantly.)

I have an issue with a tradition based off of trading your daughter for a goat.

I'm all for respecting cultures and traditions

I don't care if it doesn't sound respectful, because I don't respect it.

Somethings not adding up ?
Your definition doesnt sound reliable at all.

What im talking about are marriages where parents suggest and set up the partners but the spouses get a say so.
Arranged marriages ≠ forced marriage

"I'm all for respecting cultures and traditions, but I cannot support out dated sexist traditions"

If you're going to quote me, don't cut off my quote to suit your narrative.

Also, the quote is from the Oxford dictionary, take it up with them, it's not MY definition. :)

The original comment only said arranged marriage tho?

I have an issue with a tradition based off of trading your daughter for a goat

And nothing about selling off your sims for goats? So whos really bringing up a narrative here?
There are also many definitions from other dictionaries that simply state its a marriage where the parents choose the spouse. It doesnt say anything about it being forced, children being the spouse, people being sold or trade or anything like that. My point is there are successful arranged marriages and for some places it's just a cultural difference so no need to be biased. You dont have to agree but its good to respect others cultures when it comes down to just an opinion on how things should be done. But I believe we both agree a forced marriage shouldnt take place, which isnt something I advocate for either. I dont support forced marriage, child marriage and the like and I dont think that was being referred to in that comment.

I've said multiple times that I have no issue with parents helping arrange a wedding for their kids, and setting them up, as long as both people are able to consent and say no, and feeling pressured to say yes is NOT consent btw.

I've said my issue is forced marriage, so I'm not sure how many more times I can phrase that.
