I can see where you are coming from. If a woman wants to pay for the meal once in a while, then by all means she should. I understand that a guy wants to be polite and chivarlous, but people need to consider that so do women. You fail for getting into a financial fight without being aware of your credit cards state. Go on and stand your ground but don't make a scene about--that's very douchy. Maybe next time you two should discuss who's paying before hand. I actually believe that couples should split the bills, not neccessarily in half at meals, but like the guy paying for one dinner and the girl paying for the next one. Equality is the key idea in feminism. He wasn't being sexist unless his reasoning for paying the tab was because you are a woman therefore aren't financially stable. But I understand wanting to establish that you are an independent woman who doesn't need a man or his money. "She got her own house, her own car, I N D E P E N D E N T" Sorry for the rant. Imma GERL lyk btw.

I was looking for her too... Come back, troll!

... Lmao.

You know, for a 12 year old, your reading and comprehension skills are severely limited. Get off FML and go do your English homework. SHE was calling HIM a sexist for offering to pay the bill, not the other way around. PS: Firefox has a delightful little feature called spell check... Try it, it can help you spell words like "hypocrite", even if you're 12.

It's called chivalry. Feminism is the concept that men and women are equal. It is flawed because it is called feminism not equalism and works against men to oppress them into inferiority. When I go out with a guy and he wants to pay, I offer to go halves and us being teens with crappy jobs, we agree. Don't go biting his head off because you can 'open the door open for yourself' or 'pull your own chair out' - is the idea of feminism not for men and women to respect one another? For example a guy treating a girl like a lady and a girl not making a scene because he was trying to do just that? Read the book 'Save the Males' by Kathleen Parker. I'm grudgingly a feminist by name, but I believe in equality and you are giving feminists a bad name... when guys finally give up and become women's lapdogs, I'm sure you'll be mad at him for not being man enough. I'm a 15 year old girl and even *I* can see that.

Feminism is stupid. Women already have too many rights as it is.

thats not him being sexist, and thats not you being feminist its him being sweet & doing the gentle-manly thingy, and its u being a dipshit

*sigh* Women like you give women like me a bad name. You are also the reason chivalry is for the most part dead and buried. (I say for the most part because my own boyfriend often offers to pay for my meals, holds open my door, waits until I get safely inside my home before he drives away after a date, gives me his jacket if I'm cold, etc. Not sexist, CONSIDERATE. I pay for him every now and then, but I certainly don't call him a sexist when he wants to handle it.) When I have children, I will make sure to teach my boys to treat women like ladies. Respect what they think and say. I will also teach them to hold open doors, offer to pay for dates, give up their jackets, etc. I intend to raise my sons as gentleman just like my bf's mother raised him. Unfortunately, I'll also have to warn them to stay far, FAR away from women like you.

Wait, you thought he was being sexist, when you are the one with the username "Feminist"? If you are a feminist, then you don't believe men and women are equal (and I'm guessing that you are the type that says "girls can do anything" type of stuff), and therefore you are being sexist against females...It's just a bit contradictory.

Haha, I agree with #145. She's 15 and has a better idea about the way things should be than most. I'm in the same boat, I hate being labelled as a 'feminist' because of all those 'feminazis' out there. But I do believe in equality between men and women. Just cause the guy wanted to pay for the bill - don't make such a scene out of it. Be polite, and say sure. And then if it's such a huge deal, pay him back after, or buy dessert, coffee, flowers, something. Don't be such a bitch about it. YDI.
