From #Metoo to #IDo. Many modern brides living in the age of female empowerment aren’t waiting for prince charming to pop the question — they’re taking their happily-ever-afters into their own hands.

“I knew if I proposed he would have a ring and I wouldn’t be like a kept woman,” said Rebecca Reed, who proposed to her boyfriend in July on their one-year anniversary date. “I was like: I’m taking it by the balls and doing it.”

Danielle Sinay, emboldened by the women’s movement, asked her boyfriend of three years to marry her in October.

Think the point he’s making is, this #MeToo proposal thing is played up as equality/empowerment thing. His point is, when it comes down something with a bit more heft—no alimony, $20k ring, the ladies sort of lose heart on that equality thing.

Been caught in the strand of people going through the door a time or two myself - actually makes me feel better rather than impatient.

So glad you are back from your break.
