He didn’t marry her because she expected him to foot the bills. Apparently this is controversial.

In an era of gender equality, men should never be seen as human ATM’s if women aren’t willing to be seen as human sexbots. We either dehumanize each other or we treat each other with respect.

Men seem to want gender equality more than women despite women saying they are more oppressed.

Also not shocked at them calling him princess. It's the same thing when a man rejects them suddenly he's gay even if he has a girlfriend. Insults and shaming are their weapons that's why a 'real man' is whatever suits them at the moment and never seems to be his benefit but always her benefit

>people calling me stingy, tight and a princess

That is a reality of 50/50 relationships. Women say that they want equality in relationships and 50/50, but in reality they don't. Men are still expected to take most of financial responsibility and if you don't, most women are repulsed by it.

When my wife started to make her money good (because of a tuition i paid for), she lost attraction to me, cheated with a guy from her law firm and there goes 15 years of marriage down the drain.

Feminism 50/50 idea is a lie. Women are not looking for love, they looking for a lifestyle upgrade.

I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability.

Great quote that perfectly sums up why men and women will never be equal. Women don't actually want equality. They want equal opportunity, equal outcomes (regardless of effort or ability) and extra privileges.

A tempest in a teapot. He’s in PR, and well aware that focusing on the few who disagree will generate more attention than the majority who think it’s reasonable.

Nothing in that article was controversial- he believes couples should contribute in proportion to their earnings, that children (and implicitly, being a SAHM) will complicate that, and that he shouldn’t have judged her career choice. Oh, and couples talking about money before marriage is a good thing.

If you fall for someone who doesn’t agree to any part of this, it’s a red flag, but not insurmountable.

From the article:

I was raised by a single mum who had to take on the ‘provider’ role, but instilled a belief in me that women can do amazing things in the workplace and be financially independent, as well as create a beautiful environment to raise children. Then, in my adult life, I’ve been surrounded and inspired by women in the PR industry who combine more traditional ‘masculine’ leadership qualities, along with more empathy, compassion and communication than their male counterparts.

That’s led me to the belief that, *when it comes to finances in a relationship, it should be about fairness and equity.***

This sounds like a poster child guy for feminism and yet the women are pissed when the logic of equality is now applied to them.

He had me for a bit, and then he mentioned the pay gap ..and nope.

MedicJambi · 2025-07-07T02:27:52+00:00

This is why I'm seriously willing to get into a hetero / hetero marriage with another man. Split shit 50/50.

Don’t get married, ever.
