Is it proof that women just used men for money now that society no longer expects them to be married?

Question

Now that its socially acceptable for females to be single, and more women prefer to BE single, is it proof positive that they were with and merely used men for generations for their financial support, food and money?

Answer 1

Not really.If we go back in time,we shall find that women were exploited more and that too,in the name of economic support to them in return for what all they did or were expected/forced  to do.Also,the social acceptance for women to remain unmarried but economically self supporting,  is not all about what you think but a social paradigm -shift brought about due to various reasons.

Answer 2

Of course it is!

Women had no choice but to marry a man with money becasue women had NO property rights! Women had no access to education let alone jobs! Marrying for love was secondary to marrying for money!

Men made the rules back then, so complain all you want dude, but you men made it that way so stop your whingeing! Do you know anything about history? Your own grandmother was probably forced to give up her job when she got married.

Also, where's your stats on 'more women prefer to be single'?

Geeps! Get real!

"Is it proof positive that they were with and merely used men for generations for their financial support, food and money?"

And without the ability to get an education or work in generations past (rules made by men), how, exactly, were women supposed to survive?
