Men make more money then women, so they should pay
I have to disagree with the idea that the man should always pay. You might say to yourself "Hey, the statement is consistent that whoever asked for the date should pay."
But probably 99 times out of 100 it is the guy who asks out the woman, not the other way around! I would be very interested in any valid survey that contradicts this!
Yes, women are truly at a disadvantage compared to men in the workplace. However, expecting to have the date paid for equates to a payment by the man for the woman's company. The implication here is not good and really does set women's rights back at least 50 years. Is the man paying for sex? Is the man paying for the right to look at her like a possession or like a nude stripper? If not, why is he paying? Is a woman so different from a man that she should be set on a pedestal for paid observation? The only explanation would be that the man is paying for the woman's time – which equates dating to work and negates any sincere value in the relationship. That whole point of view is wrong and cheap.
