(JCB) Chapter 8: White Wedding/Marriage and the Family

I never thought about weddings in any way till I read this chapter. Weddings are always bog and is a white wedding. I believe that weddings are Americanize and everyone wants to have a big wedding. I never thought of the gender roles play a part in the weddings. It talked about how the male kisses the bride not the other way around which is stereotyping about the man and woman roles. Also it stated that woman should “bare 2.1 children in their lifetime to have the population to be stable.” This made me really mad because why are they saying we have to keep the population stable it is not all on us. Also what if some woman don’t want to have children they should not put this fact out because I think it is really offensive to woman. Overall weddings are expensive and everything should be equal with anyone wanting to get married.
