Why Do We Obsess Over What Women Wear to Events?

The Symbolic Triangle Icon that Indicates to Play

Last week, Millie Bobby Brown and her fiancé, Jake Bongiovi, had an engagement party for friends and family, just three months after announcing their wedding plans on social media. The couple, who are quite open about their relationship on Instagram, posed for a few shots, with Brown wearing a two-piece outfit from Italian designer Giambattista Valli and Bongiovi in a stylish olive green suit.

The Age Factor

The couple’s youth has caused some confusion and controversy among their fans. Many were surprised that Brown, at just 19 years old, would be ready for marriage. Similarly, Bongiovi, only 21 years old, is also on the younger side. His father, the iconic rocker Jon Bon Jovi, has been married to his wife, Dorothea Hurley, for 32 years and has been offering some advice to his son on this matter. Bon Jovi told Andy Cohen in an interview that he doesn’t believe age should matter when it comes to a couple’s decision to get married. “If you find the right partner and grow together, that’s wise. Growing together is wise,” he said.

Philosophical Discussion

Bon Jovi’s statement brings up an interesting philosophical question about age and relationships. Does age really matter when it comes to love and commitment? Is it possible for young people to be wise beyond their years and make a lifelong commitment? While it’s true that age can bring with it wisdom and experience, it’s also true that every individual is different and may be ready for different things at different ages. It’s up to each person to determine whether they are ready to make a commitment and if they have found the right partner with whom to grow.

Societal Norms and Sexism

However, it’s important to note that social norms and cultural expectations often play a role in our judgments about age and relationships. Women, in particular, are often judged more harshly and accused of making hasty or foolish decisions if they choose to marry at a young age. This double standard can be seen in the case of Brown and Bongiovi. While some fans are surprised but supportive of their engagement, others have criticized Brown for being too young and making a mistake. This sexist reaction is unfair and shows just how deeply ingrained societal norms about gender and age are in our culture.

Editorial and Advice

In conclusion, age is just a number, and whether or not a couple is ready for marriage depends entirely on their personal readiness and compatibility. Society should not judge young couples for making a lifelong commitment, and we should strive to recognize and dismantle sexist, ageist norms that unfairly judge women. Congratulations to Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi on their engagement, and we wish them a lifetime of love and growth together.
