In response to Reno Omokri’s post stating, “Kneeling to propose to a woman with a high body count is kneeling to propose to all the men who have climbed her,” Richard Nkwopara commented, “Even as a virgin, no real man should kneel down to propose to a lady.”
This exchange exemplifies the ongoing debate around traditional gestures like kneeling to propose, with both comments emphasizing perceived masculinity and questioning modern proposal norms. Omokri’s original statement controversially ties a woman’s past to her worth in a relationship, promoting a problematic judgment. Meanwhile, Nkwopara’s comment suggests that the act of kneeling diminishes a man’s status, reflecting rigid views on gender roles. In a society evolving toward equality, it’s essential to appreciate personal expressions of love, without these restrictive, judgment-laden beliefs
