Marriage was never intended to be a partnership of equals until very recently.

yes you are quite right, but why let the wrong-doings of the past take away what is clearly a very good thing today. Besides your claims don't prove that marriage is bad, it only assumes that it's been abused. Many good things can be abused. Also just because this was the way of the ancient past doesn't mean it was it's intended purpose.
Lets not throw the baby out with the bath water :)

Marriage was initiated as a way to buy and sell life-long sex partners for men without it being considered prostitution (and often without even restricting the man to the woman he bought, just the woman to the man). Remember that women have always been considered to be property up until within the last century around the world (and even today everywhere not first-world).

Always is a bit broad. There have been matriarchal cultures at various times, most of which included marriage of some sort.

Bullshit.
Marriage is a sham, and it's just another tool of the religious right to discriminate against everyone who doesn't follow their narrow worldview.
