Wanting men to fill a traditional “provider” role while claiming to reject traditional gender roles is cognitive dissonance at its finest. Progress means partnership, not patriarchy with lipstick

This the big 2025. There is no sole provider. Both parents gotta work now.

You don’t realize it but you just proved their point. You’ll accept bad behavior if you get benefits from doing so

no I don’t accept bad behavior. Especially not from men I date. What’s wrong with me wanting someone to financially provide for me but also treat me well? Like you’re making it sound like I said “pls I want and like to be abused”

You said you’ll pay for dates when they don’t see women as less. It’s not that you like to be abused but for some reason your mind goes straight to money and in your head that makes it better. It speaks volumes that your focus is money first

You make it sound like you put up with the behavior, long as you don’t have to pay for a date, so really money is all you care abt

See I meant society sees women as less… our health isn’t researched, we do in fact still get paid less esp woc, we’re more likely to experience sexual trauma at the hands of men. why would I date someone who pays for my shit even if they’re a sexist freak? I hate when people put words in my mouth. Like disagree but don’t twist it

I can or can’t pay for a date it doesn’t matter. I can more than afford to take a guy on a date. And I still expect him to pay. It’s not a hard concept to understand. Some of us aren’t money hungry we’re just looking for stability and words aren’t enough to keep promises but you do you. 😛

You are literally the one that made it soley about money. You think that being traditional just boils down to the provider role aspect; because that’s the only aspect you like. You like parts of masculinity but it as a whole to you, is toxic. You possess toxic femininity though. You make how other men act/feel every man’s problem. Also the studies of the wage “gap” literally only portray that men work longer hours and more dangerous jobs than women, but yall want equity not equality.

Go work on a skyscraper or something and you’ll get paid “as much as men”. Stop making your miserable life everyone else’s problem. You implied with your first message that all your dates go like that, and that has something to do with paying. Now you’re backtracking and claiming I’m misrepresenting your point. No one is sexist here but your acting like the typical “I’m just a girl” who can do no wrong, turn your brain on it’s been off for too long

Equity is equal results without putting in the work. Equality is equal opportunity to work. Stop expecting hand outs. You either work hard or you expect a man to solve all your problems, but you can’t say your a strong independent women and DEPEND on a man

Being more likely to experience sexual trauma is an issue but it’s not a patriarchal issue. You think that the majority of men support or accept men that do these type things? How dense is the rock you’re living under? Your view of men is so warped it reeks of third wave feminism. I respect your predecessors, but none for women who want more rights than men.

If you think spelling a word/ grammatical accuracy accurately represents a personals intelligence then you are truly far from smart, I’d say ignorant fits you a whole lot better.

The whole point of the post was you can’t pick and choose which parts of a traditional relationship YOU like. And you proceed to do exactly that. Everything is you, you, you. The world don’t revolve around you.

Most of us just want equal rights. And not all women want men to pay for dates. Personally I think that’s absolutely disgusting and sexist. My boyfriend and I either split it, or alternate paying. Please know it’s not all of us 🙏🏼
