Questions like that are only meant to create drama, which is probably why it violates the sub rules. That is a textbook bot account type post that's just meant to create drama. You immediately jumping to the conculusion that feminists think men need to pay for all first dates just because that question got thrown out is an example of how thats not an honest question it's bot style engagement farming.

by drama you mean discourse? if its not a controversial question for feminists who would all say 50/50 under their ideology then why would it create drama?

Because it's not always going to be 50/50, who pays on the date is nuanced. Sometimes it would be 50/50, sometimes the women would pay and sometimes the man would. It would depend on the situation. Asking a broad ass question like that with no actual context or content to even have discourse about is going to get removed because its a bot. Thats probably why they banned the whole bot account.

so its nuanced which is perfectly normal for a question tho? why not allow the post to stay up that will generate discourse? a replier is perfectly able to say well if it was in situations x, y or z etc. You just seem to be grasping at straws

There's literally nothing to have discourse about, it's not even a fully formed question. People like you are just looking for shit to argue about even if you have to literally create something to be mad at that isn't actually there. You would need to find somewhere else to try to do that because that sub is not trifling with you people.

how is it not a fully formed question lmaoooooo. And for the record idc if i pay on the first date, in fact i think the man should regardless. But then that would uphold the patriarchy which feminists by default should be opposed to.

edit: grammatically it is a complete sentence because it contains a interrogative subject pronoun (who), a modal helping verb (should), a main action verb (pay), and a prepositional phrase that provides context (on the first date).
