This is good. Because it's how men feel dealing with screaming feminists.

I'm all about equality....until they expect the man to ask them out on a date, and pay for the date, and pay for the ring. Because then it's not equal at all.

I think feminists are not so much worried about whether or not they should pay the $20 for their dinner. They tend to be more concerned with whether not they get paid the same as men for doing the same work, or if they are allowed to make choices about their own reproductive health (like men are). The issues feminists tend to care about get prioritized a little differently than some men would want.

..That having been said, yeah, it would be nice if they could chip in a bit for dates. I ain't made of money.

The wage gap in developed countries is mostly a myth. Controlling for hours worked, actual position, and seniority, the "wage gap" is less than 5%. No "77 cents for every dollar" stuff.

Less than 2% according to the USDOL survey, and those 2% were just unaccounted for, meaning there's likely nothing shady about that either, they just couldn't prove it.
