For all the talk about how much women hate the “patriarchy,” they are the primary upholders of it when it benefits them.

Men sharing their emotions and being vulnerable, “women aren’t there to be your therapist!”

“Women in the military, great! Women being drafted, no!”

“Women in STEM, yes! Women in the myriad of lower paid professions dominated by men, no!”

“Dating whoever you want, sexual liberation yes! Splitting the check and making the first move, no!”

They want to have “fun” during their teens and 20’s but in their late 20’s immediately they want a traditional marriage where the man is the primary breadwinner.

They all say they want a partner “equal” to them. But who do they go for? Men that are taller, stronger, make more money, are more successful than them. Where’s the equality in that relationship?

Now I’m not saying that the answer is a regressive return to the 19th century, rather he’d be better off if women dropped their enforcement of the “patriarchy.” Northern Europe is far more progressive about this, and dating is much easier there and relationships are more equal.
