Sorry, but what you wrote makes no sense to me. Women are surely better at discussing things, because women weren't raised with toxic masculinity and weren't told that speaking about their emotions makes them "less of a woman"; nor were we told we should keep all our emotions aside. Having that said, many men are conquering those hurtful stereotypes.

Men who don't care and never cared about relationships aren't men - they are immature boys. Among all the men I encountered in my life, it's usually 15-20 year-olds who don't care about relationships, and almost every men I encountered wanted to get married. Even studies and stats suggest that most men want to get married, start families and have kids. Those "men" you're referring to, who don't want relationships aren't men; they are called Peter Pans.

Men and women do care in different ways, that's true. But what I wrote here isn't about shaming men. It's about saying "no" to little Peter-Pan-like-boys and looking for real men.

Also, how is this about superiority? The only superiority in this case is that it's always been socially accepted for men only to propose. Hence, it's a male privilage and a male superiority. All this article is about is leaving someone who doesn't want to commit and having the self-confidence to take charge of your life and future.
