women's plight

so i breezed past this old movie this morning, and heard only 2 sentences. there are 3 women sitting on a couch crying & a man talking to them.

he says, don't worry, everything will be ok.

one woman says into her handkerchief, sobbing, no it won't be ok. WE CAN'T GET MARRIED!

isn't that the plight of many american women? or else, the ones that others think we should have??!

sadly, women are perceived as nothing if they haven't chosen marriage. no matter if they've turned it down, unless a man bestows value upon them who are they?
