I don’t usually like making generational generalizations but I do think that women demand less from men than at any point in modern American history. It seems like for millennial women it’s “wrong” to expect a man to pay for a date or to wait until he’s proven himself to have sex with him or to actually care about how much money a man is on track to make. Millennial women are just supposed to be compliant sex dolls who also cook and clean and go 50/50 on all bills–maybe even be the breadwinner in addition to taking care of those household duties. And they definitely cannot expect marriage which they are told is just a “piece of paper” when it clearly isn’t. I feel like we’re in a very regressive time when it comes to relationships between men and women. It’s like women are being aggressively bullied into having zero standards via memes/ internet discussion, the media, and the dating scene in general. Especially black women. I feel like women being forced by society to put the bar so low has actually increased male resentment. Deep down, men desire a challenge and they’re quietly insulted when things are just handed to them. You don’t respect what you don’t earn. It’s natural and based in our entire evolution: for men to fight, to compete, and to mate. They have an instinctual drive to prove themselves to their peers and to women. Of course, there are still a lot of men that want easy, cheap free sex but at no other time in history would this behavior be permitted. There would be societal shame because this person was not operating according to an expected standard. Women, raise your standards please
