A post inviting opinions on marriage continued to draw strong and contrasting views, highlighting the growing tension between personal choice and social expectations. While some users defended marriage as a meaningful partnership, others questioned its relevance in modern society.
One comment from a man read, “If it’s not society, many men won’t want to get married.” This remark is controversial because it suggests that marriage, for many men, is less about personal desire and more about external pressure—from family, culture, religion, or social validation. It raises uncomfortable questions about how much of marriage is voluntary versus performative. At the same time, it risks oversimplifying men’s motivations, as many still actively choose marriage for companionship, love, and family. The comment reflects a broader conversation about autonomy, shifting gender roles, and whether societal expectations still play an outsized role in intimate life decisions today.
