Also, there are the women who want equality until it’s time to pay for the date. With rights come responsibilities. Either you are an equal or you are not. You can’t have it both ways.
Equal doesn’t mean biologically the same, and this is a common error people make. I write about this stuff — and based on data, not just on my opinion. Men need to pursue women. We have very old psychology that doesn’t know from birth control. I’m not saying men should always be the ones who pay, but the guy should do the asking, and should pay on the first and probably the second date. And these dates should not be dinner (you don’t treat a near-stranger to dinner — it’s a sign that you’re scammable/desperate), but drinks. If you can’t afford to buy a girl a couple drinks, you need to go earn a living before you start dating. Men prioritize looks in a woman in a way women don’t in men, and women prioritize men’s status and ability to provide — even women earning millions of dollars look for a richer, more powerful man. It’s basic evolutionary biology, and 40 or so years of feminism and the invention of the pill haven’t changed our genes (researcher Don Symons says that takes hundreds or thousands of generations, I believe).
