My male friend at work told me, “Women say they want equality, but they still expect men to pay for dates” I asked him, “Would you split everything 50 50?” He said, “Absolutely” I asked, “Including pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and the physical recovery afterward?” He said, “Obviously those are different” I said, “Exactly, So maybe equality was never supposed to mean pretending men and women experience everything equally. Maybe it means both people contribute fairly instead of picking whichever traditional rules benefit them” He stared at me and said, “I never thought about it like that” I said, “That's the problem with selective tradition”
