[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grown adult couples should discuss marriage and decide if they want to or not. This ring- proposal nonsense perpetuates the stupid Disney princess thinking that the guy makes the big decisions and the gal is pathetically wide-eyed and hopeful. My now DH and I simply discussed it, we were both on board, and we went ahead and got married. 20 years going strong. I know I’m straying from the OP’s post, but this stuff makes me bonkers.[/quote] Right? We spend an inordinate amount of time talking about the sexual objectification of women, but this essentially a form of objectification as well. The woman is just assumed to want marriage and the man gets to pick her up when he sees it fit. We never see this sort of heated discussions pitying men whose girlfriends might not be interested in marriage because we don't define men by whether women want to marry them or not.[/quote]
