Most of you probably know this, but the 2017 Wife Carrying World Championship took place last week in Finland

I don't see the problem, it's pretty ridiculous imo but so are Hog calling contests (warning loud sounds, like close to earrape) or hot dog eating contests or whatever.

As for the fact it's men carrying women, well it's physically much more likely than the other way around, AND everyone is here by personal choice AND no one is getting seriously hurt, it's couples having silly fun, so idk what this has to do here ?

Desmond Morris thinks that the underlying symbolism of these spectacles is about "marriage by capture" - https://youtu.be/-JvdIY5LgsA?t=33m20s

This contest is literally what modern marriage is about. Man does all the work; woman has all the fun
