Good Article (Score:0) by Anonymous User on Saturday September 13, @01:36PM EST (#1) The author is questioning the traditional idea that men should be expected to materially provide for women. Just as women have shrugged off the traditional obligations of womanhood, men should do likewise.           Mens magazines are presently pseudo-feminist, but increasingly there is a willingness to deal with mens issues ( REAL issues such as false allegations, family courts as distinct from "how to lose 10 lbs", "how to make yourself more attractive to women", etc). These magazines will eventually play an important role in the mens movement.

Though nearly every institution now is at the least "quasi" feminist. .

Great to see (Score:1) by Tom on Saturday September 13, @07:12PM EST (#2) (User #192 Info) http://www.standyourground.com This article was great to see. Askmen.com seems to be a mainstream sort of place and to hear him nailing the wage gap and then to call women on their double standard of expecting the man to pay for dates is a breath of fresh air! Yes. Sign this online letter about domestic violence

Equal rights means equal rights. My only problem with the article was the condition for women paying half on dates as whether or not she earns the same as the man. If she makes more than the man, should she pay proportionately more? I say it shouldn't matter. How many women determine how much a man makes before expecting him to pay for their date? The date should be paid for by both regardless of how much each makes, IMHO. They should either go places they both can afford or go on dates that don't cost much, if anything. What do women do when they go out together? The one making the most pays? Do they determine exactly how much each makes so they can come up with exact percentages for each? Hardly! Dittohd

I mean the author wrote sex-ploytation. So my guess is he tamped it down quite a bit for the meanstream. Didn't want to scare them off. Let them learn the truh, then they won't be scared.
