I'm aware that every individual is unique, and their circumstances are different. However, I'd like to understand some concepts and mentalities.

For many years, I thought feminism was about advocating for women's rights. I liked the idea of education for women, which would allow men and women to understand each other better. This included reproductive rights for couples, reducing tolerance for sexual harassment (especially for fathers with daughters), body autonomy, self-acceptance, and anti-discrimination, all of which would enable women to improve themselves.

After dating many women, I've realized that most of them seem to prioritize their own needs and desires. If you're not wealthy or athletic enough, they can easily lose respect for you. Fortunately, I don't mind ending a relationship and can quickly move on because I know my worth. Many of them have high expectations, such as wanting me to pay for vacations, gifts, and other expenses. They expect a certain standard of living, including a house and a car, and if these expectations aren't met, they become cold and distant. This is often the case even when they're not taking care of themselves emotionally or physically (e.g., smoking, heavy drinking). I wonder, why is it often one-sided?

I've always been supportive of women's empowerment. My ideal of a successful couple is one where both partners support each other in becoming successful independently and as a team. However, I'm realizing more and more that many women seem to focus primarily on their own interests. I feel that the world used to be better in terms of relationships, where the man would work, and his wife would support him at home. Now, everyone works to pay heavy taxes, and it seems like women have certain privileges that men don't. Also, in marriage, divorce seems to be neutral, but it often benefits women in most countries, which can create an imbalance in the relationship dynamic. This imbalance has made me question the current state of relationships and the role of feminism in modern society. Why? Women often talk about "love". Do they actually care about their partners, or is it just a word?
