My eyes were opened to this somewhat recently, when a gay friend talked to me about it over Skype (I mention that because the conversation was originally about gay rights). The leanings against men when it comes to marriage and children actually made me afraid to get married.
People do need to be out there talking about this. There's always the risk of it becoming tainted with whatever the male equivalent of "feminazi" is, but it's important that the idea is spread.
I admit as confident as I may claim/ strive to be, I do find myself romanticising that moment when a MAN gets down on one knee and makes the proposal. Seeing how you feel like the world is depending on you for that and the fact that it makes you afraid of marriage, just kind of makes that happy image go a little sour... I'd be making or breaking a vulnerable man. A man whose always been vulnerable but commanded never to show it...
It's not just the proposal, it's what can happen after that. I don't mind kneeling down and presenting a ring to a woman I love. To that effect, I guess I've romanticized it as much as anyone else, given the actual action (kneeling).
How do you feel about Men's Right Activism?
