   Women Who Married Themselves Talk About How It Feels    
      
      
   Last year VICE reported on the trend of "Sologamy," the practice of   
   marrying yourself as a way of boosting or affirming your self-esteem.   
   Reports were coming in of women from California to the UK, mostly in   
   their thirties, taking the next step with themselves, saying, "Alright,   
   I'll take your outmoded tradition, your patriarchal road to ruin, and   
   I'll make it about myself in every single way."   
      
   Sologamy isn't recognized in the US or Europe. However, while it might not be   
   a legally binding union, it is part of a growing self-empowerment movement.   
   The benefits are plentiful—no pressure to change your perfectly decent   
   surname, no doing sex with    
   the same body again and again, no resentment over a lopsided chore schedule.   
   It's all about real self-love. So you can see why people are into it.
