I am a feminist. I strongly believe in the social, political, legal, and economic equality of men and women.
Yet, on a first date, I expect the guy to pay for me.
Of course, at the end of dinner or drinks, Iโll make a very convincing slow-motion gesture towards my wallet, which gets progressively slower until he tells me that heโs got the bill. Iโve watched myself do this and wondered โ Is this lame charade at odds with feminism? Does this desire undo my other feminist behavior? Do other feminists feel this way?
