Broadcast journalist Kojo Yankson asserts that, in terms of practicality, marriage may not necessarily favor men.
During a segment of the ‘Say Less’ podcast on LynxPlay, Yankson questioned conventional notions surrounding marriage and closely examined its purported benefits, particularly for men. He raised doubts about the widespread belief that marriage primarily advantages men, particularly regarding the financial benefits it supposedly provides them.
Yankson expanded on the intricate obligations and anticipations that come with modern marriages, hinting that these could at times surpass the perceived benefits, particularly for men.
“If I am being practical and I’m assessing things based on a simple cost benefit cases, it is hard to see how marriage benefits a man especially if you are comparing it to how its benefits a woman,”he stated.
The broadcaster further questioned the exclusive advantages enjoyed by married men compared to those who are single. He presented a challenge to his audience, inquiring, “What are the things a married man can do or possess that a single man cannot? Name just one, and I’ll concede my point.”
