[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the idea of a man proposing. Don’t care what others do. But there are some of us that like convention, and like traditional roles. We shouldn’t be judged anymore than people who don’t. [/quote]
I disagree. There are conventions that are extremely sexist and I think it is important to single them out. Like asking permission to the woman’s father, for example.[/quote]

I like this. Again, we can respectfully disagree. But this also has religious roots for a lot of people. It’s often cherry picked and criticized, but I see it as a sign of respect. [/quote]

I would not marry someone who asked for my father's permission.  I'm the only one who needs to agree.  My dad's reaction probably would have been "no", because it's disrespectful to me.[/quote]

In some cultures, giving the thumbs up sign means eff you. Guess what? Both interpretations can be accurate, depending on context.

Same thing here with this example. You find asking your dad to be disrespectful. I think it’s a sign of respect and I value my father’s approval. I would never agree to an arranged marriage. But I would not judge a culture where this is the norm.

The issue isn’t the difference. It’s the judgment in thinking one is better than another. It’s not better or worse. Its different [/quote]
