Re: “Is There Any Real Benefit In Marriage For Women?”

[(Anonymous)]

"I'm approaching 40, and as I get older, I do wonder what my life will look like when I'm old and weak. But I still would rather try to achieve a life of living alone than find someone to be by my side for life, mostly as a security measure from fears of what life might look like when I'm old."

I wonder the same thing, but I look at it this way. You don't see very many men taking care of their female partners who are in poor health, or who need someone to nurture and support them. It's not that no men at all do this, but it's rare. What I personally see is a lot of women who end up being nastily surprised when they have a health emergency and their partner either cannot or will not step up and be the caring partner: fathers who don't know how to parent their own children through school, mealtimes and bedtime when the wife isn't available to do it, boyfriends who sit around and play video games waiting for their sick girlfriend to feel better so she can clean up the messes he made while she was lying in bed with the flu, husbands who find it too difficult to handle their wife's cancer diagnosis so they leave her and get a girlfriend, etc. etc.

But at the same time, should a man get sick or need emotional/physical support, they expect their girlfriends/wives to deliver it selflessly and without a murmur of complaint, and they have a far better chance of getting that support and comfort. It's a hypocrisy that goes along with toxic double standards for gender roles.

I know that a male partner is no guarantee that there'll be someone to take care of me if I get sick, and when I get old. Even if a man loves you like you're the center of his universe, that doesn't mean he's capable of doing that or willing to do that when push comes to shove. That's something you won't know until you're both tested by unfortunate circumstance.
