@verapatrick_ reacted: “I think what he is trying to say is that most married women are treated so bad that if they have financial freedom they would rather be single.”
Another user @edafe_vanvic added: “A lot of meaning to that sentence, it also means many 95 percent of women are in marriages for survival purposes, they are in just to make someone else responsible for their financial lives 😂, add this to other meaning u know . If they finally become financially independent, they will no longer find marriage interesting 🤨, because to them the man would have nothing else to offer them 😂.”
