Do women actually need marriage in 2021?

[CarmelBarbie]

Noticing more and more it’s always unmarried (and typically unsuccessful) men harping on women getting married. Nobody else cares yet these dudes are monitoring women nuptials like stock prices.

Repped. A thread needs to be done on this because it’s evident all throughout TLR. It’s strange asf too, some of these Brehs swear they are gmb, but if a bw is on the same thing, they get so triggered. No, women don’t “need” marriage in 2021. No women don’t “need” to make getting a man or husband their number one goal anymore.

But yes, there are still many women who “want” to be married in 2021.

These lol meaningless jobs and degrees ain’t bout to even mean nothing.

Just throw it all in the garbage at this point.

Yes but here's why: two person household always trumps a single person household. Provided she is married to the right person. More income, less stress, better vacations

Nobody needs it unless you want to raise kids, otherwise nah.

This is the whole point

Family.
If you want a family then you need a partner

 

[Music Fiend]

I mean the point is in 2021, neither side really needs each other.

you can be a rolling stone and impregnate whoever, build unconventional families. Women can give birth without having to choose a man for permanence.

Not needing a partner was supposed help us by choosing the partner we want. Instead its made it clear that permanence isn't a determining factor.

its about who I want right now.

Shortsightedness but be the first ones screaming black power on this forum and across multiple social media platforms

Meanwhile other groups bypassing black folks with precision
They understand what marriage means and nikkas/bytches still having this tired argument
Only group of people that celebrate dysfunction
Stand tall in pride of just being a baby momma but not a wife
Let that dumb shyt sink in
Any woman talking that hoe babble is just that
Straight like that
fukk your feelings and the bytch ass simps holding you in honor for poor decisions
Black community my ass

If you look at the marriage statistics the answer is quickly becoming NO.

Women are making more money than they ever have at any point in history.

If women get married its because they want to but no it is no longer a must to survive.

I'll long considered myself #GMB, but, it's disheartening that 90% of the 40 replies in this thread is some version; Men and women don't need each other.

It's gotten to the point black people don't acknowledge and help each other in public anymore. The old folks get it but for some reason my generation and younger don't seem to understand there is unity in blackness. We'll see each other in stores and restaurants and just keep looking straight and not even acknowledge with a hello

They need good, loving, supportive, sexually satisfying, safe, honest, fun, respectful, infidelity-free, financially stable, healthy marriages to men they are attracted to.

But the shyt some are trying to push, NOPE. Unnecessary.

If children are in their future the answer is yes. Statistically speaking marriage has benefits for married women and men with children

If a woman doesn’t plan on building a family (there are women who don’t mind just being the single auntie) then marriage may not really benefit women, especially college educated women

A woman’s value doesn’t depend on how she treats/rears/is able to raise other peoples children. The scenario also doesn’t benefit her lol
