I disagree that dressing part, like even if a women is completely covered, wearing a good outfit, yet she gets raped. It is not about dressing or age nor gender, but about how this world and this society killed the value of dignity!! No man is safe and no women was ever safe!! I agree with you, but babies getting raped is not something that should be measured through gender roles. I hate when women and men fight like seriously rape is rape regardless of the gender, so start doing something about it rather victimizing male or female, one should always feel safer in their own country, but sadly that doesn't happen anywhere. Yeah lust is real, male fragile ego too!! I think women hate the concept of marriage more because of how men's mentality is like see abuses, marital rape is being normalized since decades and now women are more aware of it, hence they know they can be without a man. I think men somehow need a women, but a women always can fly and shine alone. I'm glad you wrote this and I just added what I felt, but I am not someone who follows the crowd, I think like me, hence that makes me different and this is how I've felt reading your article

The idea of marriage to women has been introduced as a ticket to freedom. Before marriage a woman isn't 'allowed' to do as she wishes. They're told that "once you get married, your husband will 'let you' do this." Women have seen their parents' marriage growing up. They've seen how their mothers have sacrificed their whole life. A woman is scared to end up like her mother, and as harsh as it sounds it is the truth. A woman is terrified of all that their mothers had to go through. On top of that if a woman ever experiences a toxic relationship, her idea of love gets tainted. Her expectations rise on all levels- she doesn't want to be treated badly, she wants love only if it doesn't belittles her worth. And so many women end up hating the idea of marriage, but if a man were there to break those patterns her father had created with her mother, and treats her well, loves her with no ill intentions, I think that will be a successful marriage. Because the man will be willing to be the husband, instead of only expecting her to be the wife. And yes all humans regardless of gender go through this. Patriarchy is hatred towards women as well as men. Men will be hundred times happier once they stop being trapped by patriarchy. Anyways, on a side note, I did convince my parents that I'm capable of living alone and now they're coming around it, slowly but still. We do, women do all they can about it. Some more than the others, but they do if and when they realise that they're worth way more. Btw good write! I couldn't stop myself from sharing my thoughts.
