Proposing to a man: I can't even

Idk why this is even a thing. I wish liberal feminists would stop promoting this behavior as if it were empowering. Could there be anything more indicative than a lack of self respect than asking a man to marry you ? It reeks of desperation. It’s “ pick me” on steroids.

Why couldn’t his introverted ass propose privately?

Why do we always need to take the pressure off men according to these people? No wonder they’re all man babies. Isn’t taking the pressure off their job anyway? There is a lot more of it in a woman‘s life to begin with.

If a man is enthusiastic about having a life with you, why would there even be any pressure???

I’ve never once felt pressure when it came to doing something I wanted to do anyway, so why would this be any different?

I never understand why people say they "get crap" from others when those people are concerned about you. If someone criticises your decisions because they believe you can do better or something isn't good for you, they're not giving you crap.

Also liberal feminists are too scared of men's disapproval, that's why they promote that women take men's roles to ease their "burden", and women have enthusiastically started doing so. I even saw women bragging about volunteering to carry heavy chairs instead of the men and they thought they were being feminist champions. They won't fight against pornography but they see carrying heavy shit when they have less strength than men as a win??

And men? Outside of some positive examples in MensLib of men talking against "babysitting" your own children or not being able to do housechores, men seem to only want to do those things because women won't put up with it nowadays, not because they think it's fair.

I also hate the “long hard road” crap. Life can be hard and throw a lot of stuff at you, but the idea that a relationships needs to be a struggle is so toxic.

Thanks, I hate it.

omg this woman has no self respect. She has taken on the role of the man because he is not a man. How much do you ladies wanna bet she supports him? I bet when they first started dating, she paid for some or all of the date.

If I ever get down on one knee for a man, call the police. I’m being held hostage and am doing this against my will

BasieSkanks · 2020-05-24T06:46:08+00:00

I would rather eat glass than propose to a man.

I would rather pull my big toenail off with a needle nose plier.

I really hate this shit. And I hate how it’s now being touted as “women’s empowerment.” LET THE MAN PROPOSE, SIS. IT IS LITERALLY EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY. YOU ARE GOING AGAINST EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY. Girl, bye.

Queen Victoria proposed prince Albert because she has higher status that him. It’s an interesting question in gender dynamics relationships cause now women get more power and more independence, and men need to work hard themselves to get a high quality women. Ireland has a tradition of proposing men in lap year. Men before proposed women cause they become part of his family and household, are parts in world where is a tradition for women will never see her family after marriage. If women will be even more successful and rich and her apport to society bigger cause woman pay high taxes and also gave children, when men will need to invest in themselves to attract right women and wait for a proposal. in interesting times we live, ladies.
