In our society, gender stereotypes are often reinforced in romantic relationships. Please read this article
on the role of gender particularly in engagement/proposal scenarios. I
found one reader's response particularly provocative as well: Andy,
thanks for your thoughtful reflections on the tired traditions of
engagements and weddings. I couldn’t help but notice that you focus a
lot on how women’s expectations play into these harmful expectations.
But it doesn’t quite seem fair to place the burden of the harmful
tradition on women alone. Do you have any thoughts about how men’s own
expectations (as providers, for instance) play into the traditions as
well?
What is your response to both the article and the reader's questions?
How does this compare to your families' experiences and the love story
you shared on Friday?
