mail order brides

Today most people are too busy with their careers and daily lives to go out and find their soul mate. They don’t want to date a bunch of people they have absolutely no interest in so to eliminate that process, online dating services provide these impatient people a way to narrow down all the other single people in the service they may have stuff in common with. The other day in class Irene mentioned mail order brides. Now what I’m understanding with this service is that all one has to do is simply go online, browse through a bunch of women who interest them, click, purchase, and shipment will arrive in 2-3 weeks. Now I’m sure there’s more to it than that but I’m also sure there’s more to the story than just buying your perfect bride and living happily ever after. Some women who are bought come to these lonely men and live as slaves. They are put to work by their husbands and are forced to do whatever they want. Some are treated as maids to keep the house clean, cook, “lay down” with their husbands, and are beaten when they disobey. I guess you could call this slavery but it can’t be, right? I mean slavery was abolished in 1865 so this must be nonsense, right? And I guess for the few men who realy are just looking for their "perfect bride" they're just too insecure with themselves that they can't go on a date with a chick and have to go straight to ordering their "soul mate". I don’t understand how this service can be running when I’m sure people know what’s really going on, that this isn’t some new high speed dating service, and lonely jerks can’t use the excuse that they just want to find love. The whole idea of mail order brides is disgusting and I don’t understand how or why this started.
