Just like the outdated ideal that women should first and foremost be mothers and wives and should have dinner on the table by the time her husband got home from work...men HAVING to pay for the first date is also outdated.
If I want to be treated as an equal (newer gender role) and am no longer expected to adhere to the above I am sure as hell not going to hold a man accountable for something equally as outdated.
And I am sure the same women who expect this first date scenario, would also be up in arms if the man said to her "the women's place is in the home".
And yet one more that has no clue what "equal rights" means.
"women should first and foremost be mothers and wives and should have dinner on the table by the time her husband got home from work"
That^^ would most likely be occurring in a household where the wife does not work outside the home. I assure you, 20, even 30 or 40 years ago...a working wife had every right to expect her husband to put that dinner on the table, if he was home first. It's true...because that's how my parents did it. Stop making foolish assumptions about how others manage their households.
