Not to say, that what you said isn't true when it concerns people who actually take those roles seriously and live according to them. But one shouldn't generalize.
You make an excellent point.

It's kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Boys propose because it's expected in our culture. So when a girl proposes, the assumption that boys should propose plays into people guessing at what the motivation was for the girl proposing was (as evidenced in this thread). Dude didn't have the balls? She's crazy? Desperate?

Not that I think it's fair, but it seems to be how it is.

No, it is absolutely not okay. The very thought of it sickens me, right up there with people who don't punch their ponies in the face.

Actually though I generally get the impression that women find it more meaningful to be proposed to, whereas dudes might feel emasculated and wouldn't think its romantic no matter how its done. Society isn't there yet. Abolish marriage.

The presidential candidate of the anarchist party wouldn't have it any other way.

Is it okay for a man to propose to a man? Is it okay to say no? Is it okay to say yes knowing that it won't work out? Is it okay to propose only because there's a fetus involved? IS IT OKAY?

Those propositions are disrelated, but hey it's 2015, anything is possible right?
