Propaganda I'm Not Falling For: Marriage is a Woman's Greatest Achievement
<p>Welcome back to my ongoing series on the "propaganda" I’m not buying. Today, I'm tackling one of the oldest and most persistent myths out there: the idea that a woman's greatest achievement in life is getting married.</p><p><br/></p><p>This narrative is deeply woven into our society, from fairytales that end with a wedding to the constant media focus on a woman’s marital status. It suggests that a woman's life journey is a linear path with a single, ultimate goal: to find a husband. Every other accomplishment—her career, education, personal growth, and friendships—is treated as secondary, a mere prologue to the main event of becoming a wife. It's a limiting and frankly, insulting, form of propaganda that reduces a woman's entire identity to a relationship with a man.</p><p><br/></p><p>I'm just not falling for it. A woman's life is a tapestry of her own making, rich with countless threads of unique experiences and accomplishments. Her greatest achievement isn't a status symbol or a ring; it's whatever she decides it is. It could be launching her own business, running a marathon, raising children, earning a degree, mastering a new skill, or simply finding a deep and abiding sense of self-worth.</p><p><br/></p><p>A loving marriage can be a beautiful part of a woman's life, but it is not the sole measure of her value or success. To suggest it is discounts the immense potential and a full spectrum of human experience. This is propaganda that tells women to wait to be chosen, instead of encouraging them to define their own worth and chart their own course.</p>
