Unpopular opinion: Marriage only benefits a woman when the man is truly capable of guiding, supporting, and securing. Otherwise she's just adding burdens to a life she already handles alone. Let's be honest, too many women get married and end up with more work, not less. They're still doing everything they did before, but now they're also managing a grown man who acts like another child.

A women who's already financially independent, emotionally mature, and capable of taking care of herself doesn't need marriage to survive. So why would she choose it? She chooses it because she believes a partner will add value to her life, not subtract from it.

She expects someone who can genuinely lead when needed, contribute meaningfully, and create a sense of security and partnership. But what does she often get instead? A man who needs to be managed, reminded, and mothered.

If she's still paying all the bills, making all the decisions, handling all the emotional labor, doing all of the housework, and carrying the mental load of the entire household, what exactly does marriage add to her life besides legal paperwork and someone else's laundry? That's not partnership; that's taking on a dependent while losing your freedom.

Women don't need marriage for survival anymore. They need it to enhance an already good life. So if a man isn't bringing leadership, financial contribution, emotional support, and genuine partnership to the table, then marriage becomes a downgrade, not an upgrade. And no woman should settle for that just to say she's married.
