When it came to marriage, Mill stated that in patriarchal culture, many women are trapped by social expectations in the traditional forms. He compares marriage to bondage and yes, slavery. Mill saw no reason why either partner in a marriage should dominate the other. Mill indeed was a man of true equality between the sexes. http://www.writework.com/essay/summa...ion-women-mill
