In this talk I discuss the free love tradition and marriage abolitionism before giving arguments for state support of personal relationships -- including friendship, polyamory, and companionship for the elderly. The purpose of this conference is to provide a forum for the presentation of philosophical work by female-identified undergraduates and to encourage community building amongst femaleidentified philosophers.
