Column: Should men pay on dates as reparations for the gender wage gap?

Your post was determined to be low effort, and lacked enough context for discussion. At LWMA, we want to encourage topical discussion on male advocacy, not simply outrage and emotional reaction.

Spammy and/or rage bait posts that amount to "look at what X did!" detract from the overall discussion. We ask that all users add a few sentences and ideally a paragraph of their own thoughts (not copy pasted text from somewhere else) for the sake of discussion.

Posting screenshots from social media such as Twitter will almost always be removed as low effort. Within a more substantive discussion post they can be allowed as illustrative examples.

Exposing examples of misandry is more suitable for /r/everydaymisandry.

Personal rants are also likely to fall under this rule.

If you disagree with this ruling, please appeal by messaging the moderators.

Women have always been compensated ("given reparations") throughout all of history. It's called the male provider role.

I love how the headline makes it sound like some revolutionary idea as if men paying on dates isn't the norm.

That being said, isn't the whole reason we have a gender role that dictates men pay on dates BECAUSE men are also supposed to be providers? So this is just a feminist arguing for traditional gender roles.

Pretty sure younger women now out earn you get men so how ever you feel about reparations, men shouldn't be expected to pay because of the wage gap.

Just curious but what are this subs thoughts on stupidpol?

Definitely one of the dumbest articles I've ever had the misfortune of reading.

I almost wish it had been paywalled

Did they forget about the girl boss narrative of women making more money than men to the point of outclassing or surpassing men?

Literally prove the wagegap and yes, there should be reparations.

Also, men are owed a ton of reparations, for example : Women make up 60% of university students and still get affirmative actions. Men should get reparations for that.

What pay gap?

I'm really starting to think we need less journalists.

Had many comments on the Stupidpol page that are relevant to here so just check mine out over there, I’d just be saying the same thing anyway
