As an institution, marriage serves several societal aims.
Sure, but I'm talking from the point of view of the people involved, i.e., a married couple.

Does that mean a woman has to put out every single time her husband wants some?
Nobody says that, but it doesn't mean that a married woman can use it as a weapon. That happens often enough, and then what?
The law doesn't care; men are supposed to put up with this.
I'm simply turning the onus on women. They have too many privileges in Western societies as it is. It doesn't do good to them, nor to men, nor to society.
That is my point.
I picked something supposedly simple, like alleged rape in marriage, that is something that the state and the law can do without, I mean, should say out of it. Wherever there is something wrong with the marriage, there is still divorce on the table; there is no need to meddle, as it doesn't solve anything, as divorce rates are showing, and what birth rates are showing. It is yet another tool to be used for people to wage war against each other while the state loses time, effort, and money that can be used somewhere else to a better effect.
I found that you Americans have a lot in common with lefties, even if you are not. You are a goodie two-shoes. Just have to make a difference, if that includes meddling, just let the sleeping dogs lie.

most men are pig ignorant
Never underestimate people's ignorance, but the purpose of the law is to stop people from harming each other, not to educate them. At least it should be; we are not a big Orweillin pig farm as yet. I hope.

Also, as an afterthought, there is a lot of ignorance in a supposedly educated society; there are plenty of educated morons who struggle over simple issues. Seems to me that the way of educating is wrong as well, and one needs to remember that 20% of society are hopeless retards, and the rest are being raised in a childless hedonic society that doesn't encourage self-improvement, sacrifice, and effort - meaning there is no will to learn unless one absolutely has to.
