    Throughout his letter he makes a mockery of the fact that people have the right to love whomever they please. His own ideas of social norms and what he feels a man and woman should look like on the outside are the basis for his scale and definition of Samish-Sex Marriage. There is no science or evidence behind his ideas, they are based completely on his own opinions and beliefs.

    Almost all of the logical examples that he gives are aimed towards the dads and the men of the house. They are also aimed towards liberals. An example of this is when he states: “I hope I never have to use one for this purpose, and I doubt I ever will. But I am my family’s last line of defense.” That statement is logical because the men who read this will think that they are the last line of defense for their family.

Love, family and personal freedom are three key elements in this theory. This theory states that the guidelines, rules and traditions which used to rule personal relationships have changed. “Individuals are now confronted with an endless series of choices as part of constructing, adjusting, improving or dissolving the unions they form with others” (Giddens, 2006). For instance, marriage nowadays depends on the willingness of the couples rather than for economic purposes or the urge to form family.
