Why do Progressives have such contradictory views on marriage?

"“We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.”"

That was the goal. Nothing in there about ending marriage, just the expectation that the nuclear family is the only acceptable family structure.
The Western-prescribed nuclear family structure is marriage.

Ok. Still nothing about ending it, or even saying it's a bad thing. Just ending the perception that it's the only acceptable way of doing family.
Well there is a million other pieces of evidence in the internet.

Where are all these extended families and villages you're talking about?
