@Brights___ commented:
“I think nowadays the focus of women is geared towards power than family. The idea of freedom is what drive most women. I think they see marriage as one way to be enslaved by men. Men in our generation needs a lot of education as well”
@Kels_Decor asked:
“How is it your business? Acting concerned when you actually just want them to drag women”
@AguomaC observed:
“You know what else changed since years ago? The ladies now make their own money and don’t have to marry who they don’t like”
