Epic bump. I agree 100%. It's annoying when chicks expect to have all the advantages men have and keep their own advantages too. Men and women are different, they have different advantages and disadvantages.
I agree too, and I'm a chick. Too many females these days have that Princess Entitlement complex. They also think they're the only ones in the relationship. These are things I can't stand about most members of my gender.
If you want the advantages the other person have then you have to give up the ones you have.
I'm proud to say I take all the hits and bumps of life with a smile.
I don't get the "equal" thing, either. Yes, we're different, but that doesn't mean "less than." Besides, why try to be "equal," when you can just try to be
better than everyone else around you?
If a future gf ever tells me she wants to be strong or whatever. I'll stop paying for her shit. Because I've found with girls (or at least in my experience) is that they think they can be strong and be babied at the same time.
I prefer everything to be split down the middle. Other than that, if it's my idea to go out, I think I should pay. I hold doors open for men, let them go first, help them with stuff, etc. I really am all about "equality," which means it has to benefit the man, too.
Last - No, you can't claim to be "strong," and want to play victim and be babied, at the same time.
