Ladies, I don't want to judge but, I just cannot get my brain to wrap around the idea of it being "acceptable" for a woman to propose...
Let's just go ahead and emasculate a man completely and get down on one knee with a box from Jared's....
Let us women just take control of the relationship and weaken a man's dignity...
So, who is going to go dress shopping with him and make sure his figure looks great in a fitted gown? Will he get french tips? How high should his heels be? Which bouquet will he pick out? Will you cry when you see him walk towards you down the aisle with his hair and makeup all done?
Can you grasp my discontentment of this whole idea?
It is NOT MY PLACE to ask a man to be my husband. I feel the same way about a woman proposing a relationship (if you've been reading my previous post, you already know this.)
Yes, I believe in a trusted and sacred union of two people but, I also believe a man's role is separate from a woman's role when it comes to being in this union. We are equal in heart and can mentally balance each other but, a woman's position is not the same as a man's.
I look to a man to lead us into a relationship further leading us into marriage. However he decides to begin that path is mainly for his benefit, I either take the path with him and accepted what I am compromising or walk alone in another direction.
And let me not start on the men who allow their women to drop down on one knee to propose to them. Something in the relationship occurred or behaviors the man has displayed let his woman know that she has to take the first step to becoming husband and wife. Maybe I'm too old school, maybe I need to get with the times, maybe I should just go sit my single ass down somewhere, but I will not and I repeat, I WILL NOT ASK A MAN FOR HIS HAND IN MARRIAGE!
