A 46-Year-Old Woman Cries On TikTok Because She’s Too Old To Find A Man And The Internet Reacts
So, I finally saw the viral TikTok video where a 46-year-old woman breaks down in her car because she’s about to have a scheduled surgery, and she doesn’t have a husband to look after her. Instead, she has her mother and her sister to take care of her. She says that she doesn’t want her mother to still be taking care of her. She wants a man to do it — a husband. She captions the video My Reality Is Hitting Me Hard Today.
There are polarizing opinions on what this woman revealed.
Some men are gloating — and some women too. They think she’s getting what she deserves because they’re making assumptions about her life — even though they don’t know her.
These assumptions aren’t uncommon. If a woman makes it to a certain age and she’s still single, the theory is that she blew her chances. She chose the wrong men in her youth, while ignoring the good ones, and that is why she is still single. Or — she’s crazy.
No doubt, that probably is the case sometimes.
And sometimes it’s not.
But why, as a society, are we so comfortable with punishing these women, or thinking that they need to be punished? Men do the same, choose the wrong women, when good ones are right in…
