I don't think it is inherently emasculating. However, I didn't click on the "Answer this Question" button to say that, I clicked on it because I wanted to say congratulations and bravo for correctly using and correctly spelling such an uncharacteristically big word (for Answers) as "emasculating." I see also that you got mainly intelligent answers, which is revelatory for me. So the moral of this story is, if I want good answers to my questions, use at least one big word in my question. Got it, thanks!

I don't think so. The man asking is just the traditional way. My girlfriend told me she loved me first before I got to tell her. It was a great feeling to have her say that because I didn't know how she would feel if I said it. She might have thought I was rushing but it turned out ok. So I don't think it's emasculating. It's Love.

If it is, then that man is too unsecure of his sexuality. This is the type of person who may resent any woman who makes other decisions for herself, such as whether she works or stays home, or goes to school. A guy like this may not be able to handle the idea of a woman in charge of her own life, finances or even politics.
If you, for instance, are considering doing this, I suggest you get to know that many VERY well before you take this step. It'd be horrible if the man accepts out of embarrassment, only to be be that insecure, clay footed fool I described.
Men often make the same mistake about their women. They make an ill advised public proposal, and, either get humiliatingly turned down, or the woman accepts, out of not knowing what else to do. That marriage is doomed to fail.

Not if the chemistry is there. Many men find it hard to think and never can seem how to figure out how to propose. There is also the fear of rejection which men have a harder time dealing with than women.

There is no law or rule known to man that says you cant. If you want to truly marry hiom and hes taking forever to ask you then why wait. He will get over it if it bothers him, after all lifes too short to wait for any guy and you need to know now. Good luck

No. A woman proves her womanhood by feeling free to speak her mind. You don't want a man who wouldn't admire you for doing that.

No I proposed to mine. And he was amazed that I did it. I found it to excite his inner spirit. Still talk about to this day. He even made all of the arrangments. Very sexy!!!!

No, not this day and age. But HE may find it to be. I considered proposing to my bf, so I put it this way to him: "If I was to ask, would you...." and I gave him options of how he'd react.
His response was "If you want to marry me, don't ask ME."
He wants to ask ME.
that's how I found out that I shouldn't ask because HE wants to do the asking.

Uggh. If your guy can't do it he's a big pu$$y. Either that or he won't commit, and the relationship is doomed.
