That word doesn't really have a place when planning a relationship that has any kind of honest future. Not the concept as such, just the meaning we attach to the word. A relationship sealed in marriage was essentially a business contract that ironed out the financial issues stemming from the operation and possible relationship failure (hedging). Both adults need to be employed now so the separation continues financially as some cliche attitudes creep in 'your money is yours, but the money I earn is ours' and the usual score keeping that pointlessly degenerates in the bickering I'm sure most of us knew too well growing up. My point is that we are NOT equal, that would be a dull monotonous existence, we all are players and have certain parts we excel at, and with the routines of daily life slowly becoming less and less involved through technology and social evolution there is not a lot left, 'im always doing the washing' well sort of, we put it in a tub and press a few buttons, the machine washes it, the only thing we should be equal in is the treatment received from the tax department. Plus I hear it constantly, can someone name me one job that a female would be paid less for then a male? I mean exactly the same job and everything. I liked QIs example of Wimbledon being biased against men, as the prize money is the same, just men play 5 sets to women's 3.. outrageous!😉 I'm not angry or anything, just one thing one a long mental lust of male injustice that we can't talk about
