 Still further critics argue that extension of marriage to same sex couples merely entrenches a fundamentally inegalitarian relationship. The view that equality requires extending the institution of marriage to same-sex partners, if it is to be available to opposite-sex partners, is a liberal view. In the eyes of critics of liberal marriage, marriage itself must be rethought, if gendered inequalities are to be overcome (Brake 2014). Valorizing marriage also potentially harms those whose relationships take other, less valued forms, such as asexual relationships, polyamorous relationships, or care networks (Brake 2014). To the extent that marriage institutionalizes problematic forms of dominance, it would seem a mistake to extend it at all—or at least to extend it without significant substantive changes in the institution (Kim 2010). Assimilationist paradigms both recognize the pain of exclusion but fail to problematize the role marriage plays in institutionalizing inequality (Robson 2002).
