Why do people think it is wrong for a woman to propose to a man?
Men are the one’s who propose for marriage most of the time. Some women have tried it but many people frown upon the idea saying a man is supposed to chase and a woman is supposed to be pursued.
If you are a woman, would you comfortably propose to a man? And if you are a man, what would your reaction be when a woman proposes to you? Will you look at her differently? Why do people think it is wrong for a woman to propose to a man?

The idea of women proposing to men is still somewhat of a cultural taboo.

As a girl, I want to be pursued. The chase makes our relationship more adventurous and adds spice to our love. Taking the initiative to propose overturns the order of authority and charge. I know we are both equal but I want to be treated like a queen. Even insects know this.

It is not wrong. Do what thou wilt.

It has been a universal norm that man proposes to a woman and I am in support. We are built differently at least physically and emotionally. When someone proposes, they are committing to protect their subjects interests physically, emotionally, financially, spiritually and so on. They are tabling a deal in hopes that it is attractive enough for the other party to want to enter into the agreement. Men are better built to do this. They are fighters thus protective. They are deemed the heads which means they lay the cornerstone in the foundation. It is upon them to assess an identify one or so in the female species, propose the idea of living together aiming for a happily ever after.
In my opinion, leaving this slot open for either man or woman to propose will only bring about unnecessary confusion and battle for power. Even in lesbian or gay communities, the more macho of the two usually takes it upon themselves to be the head, with the other giving in to be loved and be submissive. It is just a system that works beautifully and all.
