> People shouldn't see social relationships as a market with pseudo-economic value attached. People from all perspectives regularly do this, but it's only considered seedy when it's used to point out a way men are disadvantaged. No one is owed a partner who contributes equal work in the household; no one is owed a partner who cares about their sexual pleasure; no one is owed a partner who performs certain types of emotional labor. But we consider these things as Important Issues (which they are!) because they disproportionately disadvantage women. But there's nothing wrong with doing the same on the other side of the divide.
