About This Quote
Marriage is an adventure that is open to all. For women, marriage means that they will have more freedom than they did before. Men are not so lucky. Not only are they restricted in what they are able to do, but they are also restricted in what they can say and who they can marry. Women get to do whatever they want, while men are constantly feeling the need to be constantly proving themselves.
