‘Marrying Money’ is the young woman, older man…

Based from Oxford dictionaries, stereotyping can be defined as a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. People simply judge and give characteristics to that particular people without acknowledge them first. The society chooses to make a negative stereotyping rather than positive one and sometimes this negative stereotyping will lead to argument.

‘Marrying Money’ is the young woman, older man,  is a common stereotyping that occurs in our society and I definitely not agree with this statement. A woman marries a man because they want someone to protect her. It does not even matter if the man is quit older compare to the woman because the woman still able to get protection from the man. The society will definitely assume a young woman who marries an older man because she wants the older man’s wealth. Who knows, may be a young women marries an older man because she fall in love to an older man. The society should not simply make assumption without knowing the real story.

Furthermore, women are an independent God’s creatures. They still able to have a good life and career even they do not marry an older man. The common perception from society that women deserve to live at the kitchen forever after they get married is an old idea. Nowadays, women can have a same level of life and career with men and even better than men. This is proven when there is a lot of women leader in government position. For example, YB Dato’ Sri Hajah Rohani Binti Haji Abdul Karim which holds the position, the Minister of Women Development, Family and Community. Another example is YB Puan Hajah Nancy Binti Haji Shukri, the Minister in the Prime Minister Department. Women nowadays are educated and can have their own money without need to marry an older man to get luxury in life.

Besides, some young woman desire an older man because an older man is more matured compare to young man. The scientific shows that man slowly reaches the maturity compare to woman. That is why some women prefer an older man because some of young man even they aged 22 to 30 but still have a  childish attitude and even do not know to manage his own life. An older man’s thinking is out of box and they always thinking of the consequences. They also know to manage their life and family well.

In short, the stereotyping ‘Marrying Money’ is the young woman, older man is actually wrong and nonsense. The people who likes to judge this young women is because they feel jealous to them because they can get everything in their life. This stereotyping should be change among society because there is no benefit at all to accuse innocent woman who marries an older man.
