[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are not a feminist.  You can be an ally, but you are not female, and therefore cannot be a feminist.

However, a feminist ally would never speak the way you do.  Never, ever ever and your flimsy attempts to couch your obvious misogyny behind feminism is a combination of amusing and just gross. [/quote]

Wrong. Men can be feminist.

I see OP's point. It's similar to whether men are expected to pay for all dates or not. And I'm personally not a fan of the expensive engagement ring or the idea that it's the man who asks the woman to marry him and then gives her this big honking gift if she says yes.

But OP, is this as far as your feminism takes you? Is this where you put your feminist energy? I'd hardly pick this as a starting point to focus on equaling things out.  :roll: [/quote]

Men paying for dates is not a feminist issue.

Feminists are concerned with the very serious issues that face women, not least of which is the wage gap.  Making it so men don't have to open their wallets.... yeah, not exactly on the list.
