- itronitron 5y agoMy interpretation of the parent post is that it's a personal anecdote along the lines of... women find it romantic on a date for the man to pay for dinner but also expect equal career opportunities and wages from their employers. I actually support the woman's take on this although I think they should lean in and own the bias, as women are generally taking on a greater risk when dating than men are. Great song btw.
- Dracophoenix 5y ago>>women are generally taking on a greater risk when dating than men are. Can you clarify what you mean by this? I don't see where women are taking a greater risk in dating or why you think women, or anyone at all, should by default receive an implicit payout in the form of a free dinner. No one on a date is a victim or supposed to be treated like one. On a date, both participants have enough agency to decide whether or not a date is not worth one's further time. Ergo both participants should by default be expected to pay for their own food.
