WAM began on April 12, 1997 after an assuming telephone sales person asked Holly Fitzpatrick if they could talk to her husband. Holly was fed up with society’s obsession with the married female role model. She called her five sisters and urged them to join her fight to rid the world of the archaic ideal of marriage. Lolly and Trolley withheld their support for their sister being that they were both married at the time. But Polly and Collie both agreed that marriage not only oppresses women, but endangers their very existence. Lolly and Trolley joined in 2000 after their combined total of six marriages ended.
The purpose of WAM is to expose the fraudulent foundations on which a marriage is built and to demonstrate the detrimental affects marriage has on womanhood. Marriage began as a way to suppress women and to reward their male counterparts. Rarely are the scales of marriage balanced; continually favoring men more than women. WAM wants to dispel society’s glorification of this unreasonable, tyrannizing, legally binding union.
