Women today
Today's woman is a real challenge to handle. My last few girlfriends have had gender role hypocrisy. The girl wants you to treat her like a woman in all the traditional ways - paying for her, bringing home the money for the household, keeping the courting interesting, doing fix-it chores around the house, etc. In short, she wants the man to perform on all the traditional male roles, however, she doesn't want to do any of the traditional female roles like cleaning and taking care of the household, having dinner ready when he comes home, and being sexually submissive. In short, they want to have their cake and eat it too. Women say they want equality, but it appears to be only selective equality that they want. They want equal pay with men, but still expect the man to pay for almost everything. I call all this the "princess syndrome", where women want a prince to marry them and live happily ever after (a standard almost no man can live up to in reality). They complain about the man not living up to their expectations for the traditional man, but they're not even trying to live up to the traditional role for a woman. It's hypocritical. I have dated women from America and from other countries and American women appear to be the most like I've described. Is it normal that I feel this way?
