Why is it expected for men to pay for everything? Rent? Meals? Dates? Etc

As an "independent" woman. It's not expected for you to pay anything infact I anticipate paying bc that's why I work.... I pay the bills and all the things and have since I turned 14. I didn't have a traditional female role model or I may have turned out as a the man pays type of woman. I grew up watching my mom work 3 jobs by herself to get us what we needed. 50/50 could be MANY things.

It doesn't matter whether I am Broke or not what matters is what I can bring you and make you different than you are today. Is health and power do not make you a good person. Wealth and power do not make you marriage material. As a man who believes in God it is better to be poor than it is to be rich because the Bible harder for Richmond in order to Kingdom of heaven Then it is for the camel to go through the eye of the needle .

The women I know who expect it only because their man expects them to do all the house chores and caretaking first. (Again, amongst the women I know.) But I think a lot of women only say equality but fail to mention equity. Until equality is legitimately possible, equity is a much more immediate concern. If anyone doesn't know: • Equality = Treat everyone the same regardless of differences or needs • Equity = Recognizing everyone's difference and struggles to help provide resources they need or offer fairness So equality would be like regardless of what you and the woman makes, you pay 50/50. Equity is more like if you make more and she makes less, you split the costs accordingly based on that ratio. And of course, if the woman is making more, splitting it so the woman pays more is also fair and valid. Anyways though, I think a lot of women don't mind splitting costs most of the time, but it's true that it is a long time tradition of men paying (pretty sure started by men) so it's hard to find a woman that doesn't find it attractive, even amongst feminists, I'd say. However, again, many ARE willing to split. But believe it or not, the age gap still exists in 2024 (Google it if you doubt). So it isn't unlikely for women to be making less. Many women, if you communicated and explained calmly and rationally, would definitely appreciate the respect and likely agree to split it assuming it is done based on equity. Because it isn't exactly fair for a man who, say, makes $70k/yr and a woman who, say, makes 50k/yr (random numbers just for an example) to pay entirely 50/50. If that makes sense.

Firstly, it’s important to recognize that not all women or men hold the same views on relationships, traditional values, or financial responsibilities. People have different expectations based on their upbringing, social norms, and personal goals. Some women may value traditional roles in certain aspects of a relationship, such as financial security, while still advocating for equality in other areas, like career opportunities or decision-making power. Others may prefer a more egalitarian approach, where both partners share financial and domestic responsibilities equally. The idea of “equal rights for equal responsibilities” is a valid expectation in modern relationships, but how this balance is achieved can differ from one relationship to another. Communication is key—understanding and discussing expectations openly with a partner is essential for any relationship to thrive. Ultimately, it’s about finding a dynamic that works for both partners, whether that’s following traditional roles, embracing modern egalitarianism, or something in between. Everyone’s preferences and expectations are valid, but aligning them with a partner is crucial for mutual satisfaction and respect.

This is my personal opinion but I really think men should stop having sex with women And start charging women huge amount of sums on money to be able to get a hold of a man's sperm. I personally feel that women should be charged between 2 and 5 million dollars to obtain an ounce of man's sperm that way It won't child support the namano will be able to easily afford to be able to pay for Is support of their children
