"Who should pay?"
CW: controversial.
Many men feel poor. But women, as a group taken together, are poorer. And this is true in all countries in the world, not just those known for gendered oppression.
If you’re a man who’s interested in having more connection & understanding, I think it's important to consciously know this, “I am richer, in money terms, as a man, than most women are.”

This is exactly why I’ve been volcel for several years now. It’s especially irksome when women who complain their men were wrong when it was done to them, then applaud and defend their sons doing it to their partners.
It’s a tossup whether these women are just selfish (I/my team didn’t “win,” no fair) or their internalized misogyny automatically made them think the other woman was in the wrong and deserved it.

Both, I think.
