Part 5/9:
The proposal is often viewed as a display of masculinity. However, the increasing trend of women proposing challenges the very essence of that masculinity — leading some to question whether it is genuinely a masculine act to kneel and ask for a commitment. This perception raises critical discussions about societal expectations and the potential emasculation a man may feel if he is in the position of being proposed to.
It sparks debates, with some arguing that bowing to a woman or accepting a proposal from her may carry a feminine connotation, disrupting traditional perceptions of male strength and assertiveness.
