She listed two primary deal-breakers she has when it comes to marriage. She expressed her lack of understanding of the expectation that a wife must wake up early to cook for her husband.
Questioning why she should perform such a task, she said:
"I hate to wake up in the morning, and I'm going up and down to cook for you. Who the hell do you think you are?"

"You consume so much food, put two bottles of Heineken, you'll be snoring like a goat," she said.
Her judgment expanded into a wider criticism of societal double standards. She accused men of placing unrealistic expectations on their women regarding beauty, weight, and hygiene, while often failing to maintain those same standards themselves.

"I've been waking up at 4am for 13 years now. You're joking. You expect him to do that? It's your responsibility; all he can do is support you in his own way. You should also support him financially if needed. If you can't, hire staff, depending on what your partner wants. But with all this rant, she's speaking from experience."

"The worst thing that will happen to any woman is getting married to a snoring man. It's better to be single than to be with a snoring man. Wait o, in 2026, women are still waking up by 4 a.m. to make food for a man? This is ridiculous, and any woman that does that is a slave, not a wife. Rubbish."
