Wherever women speak about their autonomy and future: "are you SURE you're sure? One day you might regret what you're sure about!"

Absolutely! If I said "I want to get married." no one would exclaim "But you might regret it!" although that is very possible haha.

The suggestion that I am just saying I'm not interested in marriage to save face until HE finally asks me to marry HIM is beyond insulting.

I was the one asking him to marry me and that was already oh so shocking

And some women who are the "asked" have a say in how it's done including picking out their ring. The facade that a man must ask is silly.

Agreed. It doesn't *matter* who asks. It just matters that it has been discussed so there's a mutual understanding that both *want* to.
