This Viral Video of a Woman Proposing to Her Man Set Off an Intense Debate on Gender Roles

Some say her boyfriend should have gotten down on one knee, while others say let her live.

Marriage proposals are typically one of the happiest moments of a couple's life; however, one viral proposal has people talking for all the wrong reasons. 

In a proposal posted to The Shade Room, one bride-to-be flipped the switched and was the one getting down on one knee. Although her man said yes, many people on social media are saying no. 

  • The video shows a woman getting down while the man assumes the typical, surprised reactions of a woman

  • Immediately when the video was posted, many people started discussing how proposing is 'a man's job'

  • Whereas others felt that mentality was too outdated

  • Eventually, people were debating the traditional aspects of a proposal

  • In the end, one person perfectly stated how this is no one's damn business but the happy couple
