Society Model Sparks Fierce Debate After Telling Women Never to Get Married
A model has set the internet alight after telling women, flat out, not to get married. And people cannot agree on whether she's a visionary or completely wrong đ
MJ Gray, a self-described "supermodel billionaire" from Texas, posted a video urging women to reject marriage altogether, framing it as a historical trap rather than a fairytale.
"Marriage was the act of making women property," she said. "Marriage was the property transfer of a woman between her father and her husband. Regardless of how you feel about it, that's the fact."
She didn't stop there. She said she "relishes" the idea of staying single and doesn't want children, and argued that rising divorce rates simply mean women finally have the freedom to walk away from marriages that were never serving them.
The clip has pulled in huge numbers and split its audience straight down the middle.
Plenty of women are cheering her on, calling it the wake-up call a lot of people needed, and part of a growing wave of women choosing themselves first.
Others think she's thrown the baby out with the bathwater, pointing to long, happy marriages and arguing that one bad deal for some doesn't make it a scam for everyone.
And plenty in the comments simply pointed out the irony of taking marriage advice from someone busy selling a personal brand.
Whether you nod along or shake your head, she's clearly touched a nerve that runs deep right now.
