A woman has every right to propose to her boyfriend.Adobe.com/stock/Famiglia
To Annie, please: A 47-year-old woman who had been with her lover for six years and was waiting for him to pop the question was the subject of your most recent piece. Why is giving him an ultimatum the best course of action, in your opinion?Why should proposals be viewed as something that only men do at a time of equality, candid communication, and respect for one another? Instead, why not encourage women to ask their loved ones to marry them?Isn’t making an ultimatum an attempt to coerce someone into doing something that seems domineering or possibly codependent? Wouldn’t recommending that women take the initiative themselves be more empowering, affectionate, and truthful? Furthermore, doesn’t it sound a little archaic—or even sexist—to suggest that proposals are exclusively the domain of men?I’m a forty-year-old divorced man who hopes to fall in love again in the future. Wouldn’t it make sense for the lady I love to pop the question if she’s ready before I am? Why should we restrict who is able to perform such action? — An Alternative ViewpointTo Different, I appreciate your letter, which was full of insightful queries. You are entirely correct. If a woman wants to pop the question, she can.
