And you know it’s true.
IF women are strong and independent why so many magazines and stories about “I cant find a guy/Its so hard to find a good guy/How to seduce the guy you want”? They want mens resources.
If women are so strong and independent why 2900+ women abuse shelters but only 2 mens abuse shelters when women are 44% of domestic abusers against men?
If women are so strong and independent why won’t they date a guy who has a lower job than theirs, or date someone who wants to quit working after getting married?
Women are not equals. Legally they are equal as people. They are equivalents in many things but unequal in many, many things. It’s just what it is. They are takers and want to be taken care of. Men are makers and women would rather not make, but glom onto a successful maker because it’s way easier. If they get “bored” or “unhappy” they divorce and get a cash and prize bonanza.
Some women recommend doing a fake reach for a credit card at the end of a date. It is a pretense of being independent and not seeking resources from a man. In fact, however, they expect the man to insist on paying, meaning that the woman’s fake move gets her the pretense of independence, while she still gets the man’s resources.
That applies to lots of situations between women and men.
We’ll see.
It is often a mistake to ascribe rational limits to people. Especially people who make an ideology of irrationality.
