Women made men wait to marriage?? In what world did that happen?
To be more accurate, women made men wait until ‘they put a ring on it.’ i.e. they were engaged.
Back in the old days, before the social upheavals of the ‘60s, before the birth control pill, women being virgins at marriage was much more common.
Of course not everyone was a virgin bride. But more were than nowadays.
There were also “shotgun” weddings back in those days, so that couples who jumped the gun made it right by getting married.
Making men wait until marriage, certainly happened in my youth. It was the societal expectation, and I believe, the norm!
It was the world that Richard Pryor referred to as "the great p*ssy drought of the 1950s."
It happened to me and I have been married to Mrs. teletech for 51 years. If you truly love someone you will wait.
