bc the comment got deleted… princess treatment is benevolent sexism. chivalry is benevolent sexism. it assumed women are automatically weaker and less capable than men, and that we aren’t able to be independent without them. it’s not a good thing and is NOT helpful for women.

Yeah I’m not just a girl. I’m a grown woman. I don’t want to do everything myself but I also don’t want a man to do it all for me. Unfortunately what I can provide is very traditional because I genuinely enjoy cooking but i’m not doing any turning my brain off

Yes, a lot of things that we are told to get in a relationship are traditional gender roles because there aren’t enough men that will treat a woman actually right and like an equal so women decide the the next best is to be treated nicely in a sexist way rather than not being treated nice at all

Not if we also implement prince treatment

I agree with the “im just a girl” thing but i don’t really think princess treatment is traditional roles. To me, princess treatment is going above and beyond for ur girlfriend. For example, i saw a TikTok earlier today where a girls bf got her 20 something cakes for every birthday he missed. She talks about how she used to think of her birthday as every other day until her bf started doing really special things for her. That’s princess treatment in my eyes.

but yeah doing nice things for someone is fine, but if the motivation for doing it is based in their perceived inferiority.. we have a problem

princess treatment sounds nice in theory, bur the men doing it almost always have underlying misogyny & it can quickly become controlling. theres SO MANY stories of stay at home moms getting fucked over bc they "submitted" to their man (aka become completely financially dependent with no escape)

I thought the way a coworker of mine acted could be good when he talked about taking care of his woman and then I realized how he didn’t actually care about women and it was just to make himself feel like more of a man. I am very fortunate to not have actual friends that think that way. I’d much rather receive fewer flowers than be looked down upon

yeah my ex bf was the type to plan dates and buy nice things, but he'd hold it over me whenever i didnt want to have sex, or when i expressed how he hurt me. "i did all this for you"..... :(

I’m sorry that happened to you, literally I hate how much underlying misogyny is in everything.

i agree, princess treatment is nice and can be a good thing! but its a slippery slope towards traditional gender roles, thats all i mean to say. i personally kinda enjoy it 😭, and i am a thoughtful partner in return. but im NEVER going to 100% depend on a man. ALWAYS have ur own money and be smart
