BRATISLAVA:


Because she knelt?

All the men who knelt and cheated and beat up and killed their wives, weren't they great men for kneeling?

You just read my mind . What's to say the likes of her cannot physically and emotionally abuse their husbands or even go to the extent of killing if things go extremely sour? As if it shows total submission or even lack of anger issues.

Clowns full this nairaland sef. Smh

Who is laughing with this one?

There is nothing painful there.

This looks beautiful to me....

Na rubbish whether the girl kneel down or not.

BigSarah:
When a man proposes on his knees thats the only single moment he's in total submission to the woman, that's why kneeling is necessary ... Post-proposal and after marriage the woman remains in perpetual submission ... Stupid patriarchy!!!!

men are are always at the mercy of ladies who submit to them... i mean men, not animals in human skin.

There aren't

They are weak Men.

Including me. I was so stupid and brainwashed into it.

Humility is not obliged to the Man but to the Woman.

How will you be going into marriage and its the Man that is kneeling down.

What's the essense. It is nonsense and one of the tools used to make Women less Humble.

I don't really know who enacted the rule that men must kneel down before proposing. I for one cannot kneel down to propose to any woman. Marriage favors women more especially in 9ja, because alot number of women ends up been liability and parasites in Marriage. Many 9ja women don't contributes shishi in Marriage, no wonder our men are dieing before their wives owing to lots of financial burden and pressure which they carry on their shoulders. Na we men dey suffer pass in Marriage, if mistakenly one lands with a bad wife, my brother your suffer go be times 10 raise to power 6 . Even some women that work and earns more than their husbands, hardly bring their money out to assist their husbands in shouldering the bills at home. Well for any man that want to kneel down to propose should go ahead, but as for me I won't kneel down to propose to any woman!

NB: shout out to all the hard working women who support their partners financially in shouldering responsibilities at home. Shout out to my gf who work hard for her money and never bothers me with any financial burdens. My prayer is God should help us men to find the right partner who will be ready to assist us financially in settling bills at home. Guys please treats any of such woman right.

How kneeling translates to a tool to make women less humble, that's the mystery that other men who knelt and are happily married are wondering about.

All this talk of kneeling emasculating men is hogwash. So marriage is a contract and battle of superiority? Men don't want to kneel because kneeling kills men? Or it's a baseless movement?

The West who invented kneeling understand that men should be men when they need to be. Not all the rubbish African superiority bullshit. After she kneels for you, it will make her humble. Right? Anything for the gram.

Humility is obliged to both parties actually, especially the man, since he's the head of the home. Being the head doesn't necessitate total control over his wife.

Nazgul:
This is exactly how it should be. We are in Africa not some Western world.

We have our traditions which includes bride price and providing for your family. Therefore any woman being chosen by a man to spend the rest of his life with should be respectful enough to kneel down when accepting his proposal cos he's entering into a covenant to spend the rest of his life providing for her and most times her family as well.

You are basically a caveman. You make it sound like a woman should feel lucky because you are a man. Both of you should be lucky to have each other. Or am i missing something? You do realize the only reason you think that way is because you live in a poverty stricken country. Go to a normal country and you'll find women who will feed and cloth you. And they won't be rich either.

Don't mind them. They are acting like kneeling to propose will kill them. All the usual male sentimental bullshit. As if most of them can provide for a woman, and they won't make her work to contribute and cover their inadequacies.

Men of today have become crybaby sissies. They want to be men without putting in the effort. They don't even know what it means to be a man and the responsibilities that follow. They are just following lazy deluded men with their red pill nonsense.

As if kneeling will make the woman humble. Their ideas about being given so much ego trips is laughable.

Made some sense but then

chatinent:
I'm trying to understand what took place.


Does it mean the man was like “go on your knee. I have sth for you?”


??

No, he didn’t say that.

He simply said baby, You are the one my heart finds comfort with, You will be my wife
.
She then went on her knees in happiness to thank him for making her the mother of his kids, then he lifted her hands, removed the ring from his pocket and place it in her finger....hope you get?

If you look at the front page carefully, none of the female made just one comment. The thread na confirm bait na why most of dem dey form solidarity...

Half of the men with these local mindsets must be poor. They feel women exist to please them, outside of which they are to be abused. Most think women can't think, that is why feminists make them crazy.

God save any woman who goes near them, except if she is a desperado and/or suffers from Stockholm syndrome.

That is why the men treat them like slaves in the name of marriage. That same man she is kneeling down for will in no distant time become a community penis

Nigerian men wt egoistic n dominating character.. Who knee down does nt damn matter.. Is d marriage dat matters nt d ceremony n weddings.. Yimmu

No, Instead of saying the regular "Will you be my wife?"

He said : Can you be submissive as my wife?

Please don't try to twist words.

I hate it when people play words with me.

Humility is not obliged from a Man as he is the Head and Leader as you said. Humility to do what, to say Yes ma for the Wife? Or run errands and cook?

You can say he should be gentle, caring and considerate though. But a lady kneeling down I insist is a sign of good omen.

Women control sex while men control commitment..
Men go on their knees begging women for sex
Men go on their knees begging women to accept their commitment in d name of marriage proposal.
Now tell me if men are not the most foolish creature of all of God's creatures... This male gender is a very very foolish gender

The ones that knelt down no fit be community penis as well abi...
.
Seriously, I don’t subscribe to whether to kneel or not...I won’t though probably except I find that kind of girl I’m searching for that exist only in my imagination

During traditional marriage rite when a woman found her husband to be, she kneels down before the man with the cup of wine then takes him to her parents or kind men.

Very stupid analysis! A man is never supposed to submit to a lady, ladies submit to them!

Just like any prestigious leadership position, a man can tend to over-exercise his leadership power over his wife. Some men treat their wives like slaves, always expecting them to do all their biddings, bossing them around like they're little kids who can't make decisions for themselves. That is pride, and therefore humility and wisdom are required to exercise the position of the lord of the house. Kneeling is a sign of humility as well, but I don't see how that spells a good omen. I'm not twisting any words, I say it as I see it.
