I think a lot of these types are just lonely women who are trying to cope by telling themselves it's better this way.
If tomorrow some handsome and friendly guy moved in next door to them, they'd abandon their "Who needs relationships" thing in a heartbeat.
IME those types tend to be turbo feminist, man hating, etc. This person seems to be more just misanthropic in general. I don't know, it just feels like a fairly unique flavor of femoid coping.
I'm following the logic of people here through. A cold soulless contract is indeed what it seems to be portrayed here. No one brings up a marriage reason as that they love someone, that they actively enjoy x persons company and want to spend the rest of their life with them. At which point I ask if that's not involved, why get married? All it seems to be is out of a fear, our of trying to impress others. Not good reasons to do... Anything, really. Particularly not something you are supposed to dedicate the rest of your life to.
The fact that you want people to actually spell out for you "yes of course you should actively enjoy the company of the person you marry" is the sort of behavior that indicates spitefulness. You aren't genuinely curious about these topics, instead you've made up your mind that human pair bonding is somehow evil and everyone who thinks otherwise must be wrong. You seem more interested in yelling at people who don't share your hangups rather than actually wanting to understand what people see in marriage. It's truly bizarre.
Anyways. Yes, because you are playing willfully ignorant, of course you should actively enjoy the company of the person you marry. That is presumably one big reason why you marry that particular individual and not one of the many others that you might meet/befriend/date/etc. And determining that you are compatible with that person and so forth and so on is the whole purpose of the dating process, and all of that good stuff. This is like, really really basic, ground level stuff, that even most children would be aware of. So that's probably why people in the thread aren't spelling it out for you, because they're giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming that you have this level of common knowledge on the subject.
At the same time, any remotely sensible person will tell you that marriage also involves work and sacrifice, because real life is not a romantic comedy. Most things worth doing in life involve some degree of difficulty. Relationships are no exception. If you refuse to ever do anything that might possibly require effort or impose temporary discomfort, your paths in life are going to be very limited indeed.
I have doubts any one arguing that "having kids is all women are good for" comes from a loving caring man, and it's high time they look at their logic in the face: it's soulless, cold.
This is another statement indicative of your attitude. My point is that having children (and raising them in a healthy way--since you are determined to play the idiot) is the most fulfilling thing that the vast, overwhelming majority of women will be able to do with their lives. Women are not broadly satisfied because of their "careers," or because of how much they gave to charity, or because of anything else that you can come up with. As another poster has helpfully pointed out, this goes right down to biology and evolution. It is an objective observation of human preferences.
Trying to turn that into a misogynist stereotype is really quite nasty and suggests deep dysfunction. I don't doubt that there is some small, strange portion of women who are not suited to even try for motherhood, which may include you, but these people are outliers, not the norm. The fact that you personally are an exception to a norm does not mean that the norm isn't still the norm i.e. the normal situation that applies to the large majority of humans.
