A recent post sparked heated debate after a man targeted a woman’s age and marital status as proof of her supposed declining worth. His comment reflected a growing online trend where women’s value is measured almost entirely by youth, fertility, and relationship status, rather than character, achievements, or personal growth.
The comment read: “You were 27 as of 2024 which means you’ll be 29 by June. You’re still unmarried. You have passed your prime and lost value in the dating market.”
This statement reduces a woman’s entire identity to a ticking biological clock and an arbitrary “market value.” Critics argue that it promotes ageism, misogyny, and unhealthy pressure on women to rush into relationships out of fear. Far from being “past her prime,” many women thrive personally and professionally in their late twenties and beyond. The remark highlights how toxic dating narratives continue to frame women as depreciating assets rather than full human beings deserving of respect and choice.
