Bachelor’s Defence Sparks Satire on Married Men
A satirical tirade argues bachelors face mockery from married men who claim happiness while wielding control over domestic duties. It questions why men marry, contrasts chores, loneliness, and social invitations, and cites Paul’s view that marriage is good yet not essential. The piece ends noting two certainties: debt and death.
