The right to be single

Interesting article: www.psychologytoday.com/blog/living-single/201512/you-have-no-right-be-single

I mostly thought about this in terms of discrimination of homosexual people, but on the other hand - why should people even HAVE to get married to enjoy all those privileges? What about those who didn't find someone?
Or those who simply want to stay single?

I thought I had missed something!

I completely agree re the taxes.

Winterswan, I don't know, what did you miss?

I think the complaining about people pitying singles is a bit superfluous, I don't really mind that, but the tax stuff is very important - it is adding insult to injury that those who are unhappy single also have to pay more taxes. (It would be different if it was people with children vs people without, but that's not the case where I live.)

I don't think it's very well written. Was I missing the main point(s)?
