is it ok for a woman to propose

Cee • Pregnant w/ 2nd Married 💍
My friend and I were talking and she thinks she wants to propose because she's tired of waiting on her boyfriend to do it. I don't really see a problem with it (she would know his reaction better than I would) and I wouldn't do it but this is her relationship. However her family thinks it's ludicrous and that she should "let a man be a man". What do y'all think??
