This one subject that divide opinions. Traditionally men toast women they desire and starts a relationship. Feminists think this status quo is very wrong. Women sometimes want to be the first to initiate relationship but they always inhibited by culture.
Miss Ghana 2010, Stephanie Karikari is one of the people who subscribe to the notion that it’s very wrong for a woman to propose to a man. The former beauty queen insists she would rather die a spinster than walk up to a man and tell him she has a thing for him.
She said:
“First of all, the Ghanaian culture does not even support it. In our African setting, it is the men who chase the women and not the other way round. Simply put, it is not a wise decision for a woman to make.
I will feel very bad and look so stupid if a man tells me ‘after all I didn’t propose to you’. I just can’t imagine a man saying that to me.”
