I was wondering: If a male television personality was over 50 like Oprah Winfrey and never been married, would he still retain the same respect or would he be held in ill regard because he wasn’t married yet?
The fact that Oprah Winfrey isn’t married yet has not put a damper on her popularity, high regard in the public or her earning power one iota!
Can someone explain to me why when a woman is not hooked up with someone it is seen as a sign of a strong and independent female, while if a guy isn’t attached at a certain age, then there must be something wrong with him?
Is it fair to have two different assumptions regarding the same situation based on the gender of the person?
Can a guy be strong and independent too, or does he always have to be hooked up, so the public won’t freak out?
