'Marry A Robot'
Immediately after Marathe posted the message, users started replying to and quote-tweeting him, slamming him for his views.
"What rubbish," posted one user, while another said: "You don’t have to worry about it because no highly educated woman will even consider you for a second."
Yet another X user said in the comments section: "Tell me you're a weak insecure male without telling me you're a weak insecure male."
There were many users who questioned his thinking as they called him "jealous types", "insecure", "man-child", and someone with a "fragile male ego" and who "cannot see a woman achieve more success than you".
'Not A Good Thought'
Many users tried to drive home the point that it's not right to generalise as double income is a necessity these days, and that many "high pedigree" couples are quite successful.
He Got Support Too
Marathe, however, remained unfazed by the criticism as he replied to some of the comments and said men who are pointing out issues in his statement may not have "experienced" feminists yet. His replies came as he found support from many users who seemed to agree with him.
A user also said Marathe may have posted the comment fishing for likes or views. One of his posts seemed to lend credence to the theory.
