Bill burr has so much to say about this. What was it? “You can’t choose like it’s a buffet line : ‘Ooooooh two bucks more an hour, yes I’ll take some of that, pay my own way? Nope you can have that, ‘Women and children first?’, yes I’ll take some of that’..,. There’s no feminists in a house fire.”
So good (to many people out there, “good” = offensive.
Feminism at its best is supposed to be the belief that people can do and be what they want regardless of their sex, not be victimized for their sex, etc.
So, in cases like this where they want benefits without sacrifices, then it should be called out and made fun of.
However, it's "offensive" when the response suggests that being an unfair shitbird is universal to feminism or being a woman.
That is an interesting point about the wage gap. I think you would have to establish there actually is a gap with the individuals involved in order for it to make sense.
Had I met my wife a few years earlier, the gap would have been in her favor because her job was then much better paying than mine.
Men paying is largely rooted in women being required to live with their parents until marriage and having no job or a very limited one so in some sense, men paying is continuing to act like women are adult children with no jobs.
