Our public opinion, as it is known, has different aims for boys and girls. All the future men should become prestigious people and have their own business. And girls... it is correct, girls by all means should learn to prepare, effectively to look and deceive men - and all this only in order that in the future it is necessary to live in marriage.
And if the man can exist without acquisition by family up to gray hair (certainly if the bachelor status does not prevent him from a promotion) the unmarried woman is perceived by a society practically always as abnormal. And even if she is well-to-do, not deprived of intelligence and has attractive appearance, at her at once start to look captiously: what is wrong with you, lovely, if none needs you? Also it is useless to explain, that I has not married, because I didn't want it myself. It amicably will name "excuses" and will sum up: "Any woman always aspires to live in marriage. To be single is bad".
Some single women share this point of view: "How to live without a husband? It is necessary to live in marriage. The person is not created to live alone" That is marriage is considered only as an escape from the lonely existence. But first, not each person needs to live with someone: there are also such persons who will honor for happiness to exist alone with themselves. And secondly, marriage not always relieves the woman of feeling of loneliness! It is possible to live one and to not feel like lonely, and it is possible to suffer from loneliness and misunderstanding, being like as in a legal marriage.
And thirdly, there are some ladies who do not need to be hidden for any wide back which even in present unstable conditions feel like enough confidently and men want to live independently and independently from one. For other women marriage is the certain social status. If she is married, it means, the good mistress, accurate, can entice the man. And if not married - it means, that she can't cook and can't clean the apartment.
Now we approach to the important point: and whence this myth about obligatory female marriage, actually, has undertaken? To whom it is favorable? The answer lays on a surface: it is favorable to men. Because thus they also turn to a supervalue.
