A question about marriage recently sparked a wave of opinions, but one comment stood out for its sweeping negativity: “People act like marriage is a bed of roses when in reality it is mostly beneficial to only men.” While marriage certainly comes with challenges, reducing it to something that benefits only one gender is an unfair and misleading generalization.
This kind of statement paints marriage as inherently exploitative and feeds hostility between men and women. It ignores the reality that healthy marriages thrive on mutual effort, shared responsibility, emotional support, and partnership. Many women also find fulfilment, stability, companionship, and growth in marriage—just as some men do.
Comments like this don’t encourage honest conversation; instead, they fuel resentment and discourage people from believing in balanced, respectful relationships.
