Ladies help . Wifes monthly allowance

To be fair, he is right... at least anecdotally. Every single argument my parents have is about how much my Mum spent from the joint account on frivolous things and there's a reason there are so many jokes about men getting married and finding their bank accounts empty. And given how many women you see walking around with ridiculous things like Gucci handbags, stupidly expensive shoes, piled on makeup with fake lashes and dyed hair, you'd be hard-pressed to disagree his comment does apply to a good number of women you see every day.
Obviously it doesn't apply to everyone, but it's not sexist given that he used "most". Whether it really is "most" doesn't really have a lot of research behind it, but everywhere you go there are advertisements for women to buy pointless things, and these companies don't survive on bankruptcy.

my mum sorts all the finances for my dad, I do the same for my boyfriend. I know more men who have gambled away all the joint account money to the point their wife is struggling to feed the children.

Hahaha you are so unbelievably sexist!

I did say it was anecdotal. That doesn't stop it being a genuine problem though, and it's not a sexist worry because, obviously, you know women who have had the same problem. I've only ever been told joint accounts are a bad idea, but with so few stay-at-homes now it doesn't really look like it'll be too much of a problem in the future. Where he used "most women" it probably should have been "anybody" though.

I have to agree with them, not because I'm a male but because I have a good know how of business.

He's correct, women get sucked in the same way children get sucked in by adverts showing toys.

And men get sucked in by adverts showing cars and tools. Amiright????

Yes. But the difference is cars are a lot less impulse buying, you tend to sit down and talk before you buy a car (not always granted)

But a few pairs of shoes and dresses here and there can comfortably add up to the same amount but without any real consultation with your other half.

She is not your child/pet?

A relationship is not about the house is 'mine', the money is 'mine', heres £20 go and get the groceries?

Its about trust and sharing?

I get what you are saying but not in my household , Im very traditional .

Hahaha you are so unbelievably sexist!

Not sexist maybe a minute generalization but for the most part as others have said hes right .

This isn't the 1950's! If a partner ever suggested such a situation to me, I would be gone straight away!

I want to earn my own money, have independence and have an equal relationship with trust!

not treated like a little kid being given pocket money!
