Yet, feminist will somehow twist those fact in a way that makes them the victim.

I've been saying this for years, they want women to go out earn men. The more a woman earns, the more apt she is to spend more. It's a win win in a global economy. Why have billionaire man who invests his money when you can have a billionaire woman who spends it all.

This data is a bit all over the place. It doesn't actually tell us there's a spending gap. This source goes through the data in a more helpful way and highlights key differences:

I found it interesting, hopefully you will too

Female gamers over 55 spend more time online gaming than males ages 15 to 24. (Source: Ford Motor Company and Trendwatching.com study, 2013)

This is a pretty wild statistic to me.

Edit: Wait a minute... Are they comparing exclusively female 55+ GAMERS to literally the entirety of 15-24 males? If so that is a really misleading statistic and seems utterly pointless.

Wait wait wait, they are saying that women spend more money on houses, cars, computers and that sort of thing. Is this global or a continent only information? In Europe this isn't true, I highly doubt that. And on the computer part it's just a big lie.

Like most statistics used in gender politics, the numbers in this infographic are hugely misleading. A lot of the consumer choices listed are joint choices made by a man and woman together. It should seem pretty obvious that women don't account for 91% of new home purchases. Many new home purchases are jointly purchased, but for some reason this infographic decides to credit those purchases to women. From what I found before (and i don't remember the source) the actual difference in consumer spending is only slightly more for women (something like 54%).

I tried to look into the sources for these numbers before and it's basically impossible to get to the original source.

TL;DR these numbers are not super useful because they credit joint purchases as women controlled purchases. The source information is also very questionable.

Men do a vast majority of all earning and women do a vast majority of all spending.

Must be so hard being oppressed like that.

I don't believe this not even for a second. Sources, I need sources. No way do women account for most new cars and PCs. There's some explanation to this that isn't honest or it's straight up made up.

Even if men are earning more in a household he would be spending that money on wife and children. Women will never do that. They are selfish creatures on earth who earn and live for themselves.
