Have you noticed? There is an influx of men on dating apps who always enter a tangent about how women are “selfish” and “privileged” because they don’t have to pay on dates. HAHAHA. First of all, this culture of dating rules was set by the patriarchy that historically deprived women of the fundamental right to earn a livelihood and compelled them to be dependent on men.
