Why do women want gender equality in the workplace, but not in dating?

You are doing it again. Why must you lie against me? I have never called a woman a gold digger or whore.

Also assumes that women are responsible for financial breakdown within a marriage but claims to not be sexist

This is what I don't understand about the modern day gender equality/feminism movement. They want equality in some areas, but other areas they are happy for things to stay the same as long as they receive the benefit.

Women want equal treatment in the workplace with their male colleagues. They want equal pay (FWIW the gender pay gap is a myth - same job for same hours get paid the same, otherwise it's illegal), they don't want to experience sexual harassment in the workplace (what about all the false accusations which ruin men's careers?), they want the same opportunities men have, they want equal opportunities for promotion (despite many of them taking time off for maternity leave).

This is all fair enough. Except they don't want equality in dating. Men are still expected to:

- ask the woman out and face possible rejection (women might give subtle hints, but under no circumstances will they ask the man out - that is "his job"
- pay for the first date (and possible subsequent dates as well)
- propose to the woman
- treat her with meals/gifts
- hold open the door for her
- give up his coat if she's cold, so he can freeze (but never the other way around)
- put the majority of effort into sex (this is centered around pleasing the woman - the man's enjoyment is always assumed)
- be manly and dominant, never show any weak emotions, keep his problems bottled up because otherwise it's "unmanly"
- household chores must now be shared. Women no longer have to do all the cooking and cleaning, it's shared equally between men, because otherwise it's gender discrimination/oppression. Despite the fact men are still seen as the primary breadwinner in the household and a man without a job is a virtual disaster.


So back to the original question: Why do women want gender equality in the workplace (and indeed many other areas), but not in dating? I'm interested to hear to views of men, women and any feminists.

LOL exactly. He is so transparent about this.

Enough of this BS

You need to calm down.

You lot need to stop putting words in my mouth. I wrote that financial problems are a major determinant for divorces, of which a reason for such problems may be some women appearing to be gold-diggers.

Deflecting looks good on you


You said that finance troubles occur where women appear to be gold diggers. Why even mention women? Especially since you don’t actually know the reasons for the financial breakdown.

I have explained this to another poster. I gave an example of subsets of financial problems. As we are on a thread focused on women, i mentioned women. If this was a thread focused on men, i would have had men on serious blast.

A minority do. But I find it hard to believe that most do. Which is what you're implying here.

Another reach that makes absolutely no sense.

Making a statement talking about women in a negative light when you have no evidence to back up your claim is stupid, irrespective of what the thread is about

Youre missing the point here. All woman treat him like a Gold digger to get some action because his not man enough or handsome enough.

This threat has been bombarded by Gold digger comments because of this bloke. Im too overwhelmed to go through them all.

lol.ok

Is that all you've got?

Money = not a part of him
Looks = a part of her

If you care about money so much, why don't you get a sugar daddy? Clearly you're not bothered about men, you just want their money.

lol...

You're a gold digger. Can't you earn and provide for yourself?

Just get him to transfer his weekly wages to your bank account while he doesn't get to see you. It makes no difference to a gold digger. In fact, it's actually better for a gold digger if that happens, because she doesn't have to waste her time on him.

I dont think you realize just how much of a little b!+ch youre being.
All a woman has to do is open her legs & charge for someone to enter.
Youd get more action asking her what time opening hours are.

Is that all you've got?

Money = not a part of him
Looks = a physical part of her

If you care about money so much, why don't you get a sugar daddy? Clearly you're not bothered about men, you just want their money.
