Olsen used Emily as an example of how the government cares more about business than people, thus why I believe she sustained an attack on a heartless, bureaucratic government in “I Stand Here Ironing.” She writes about how the government left the narrator to fend for herself and her child when her husband left her to escape the poverty they were in.

These days people seem to think that marriage is the only way to be committed to someone. That people who gets married will be happier than those who don’t. It seems like they are saying that the normal thing to do if you want to have a family is to get married, and that people who have a family without marriage or those who had a divorce are wrong and/or bad parents.

Arranged Marriages are cruel because people deserve the choice of who they marry and a chance of love. Traditional arranged marriages were arranged by the parents. They arranged the child's future spouse with little or no input from the child being taken as having final authority ("Arranged marriage").
