Today, I got into a heated argument at a restaurant with a guy I am seeing because he refused to let me pay for the bill and I thought it was sexist. When he finally agreed, I gave the waiter my card, only to have him return a minute later telling me it was declined. FML

girl, it's just polite, classy, traditional. get over yourself it's nothing to get in a heated argument about, either. come on, if you offer to pay half and he declines, accept graciously. it makes you seem like less of a bitch.

Wow...there's really no need to get into a heated argument about it.

A man tries to do something nice for you, you call him names, then it gets thrown back in your face. Drop the feminist bullshit and let a guy treat you nicely. It's easy to be a feminist without being a total bitch, obviously, you can't manage that.

Credit cards are declined if you spent over the max, or if you haven't been paying the minimum balance. There are some other ways for the credit card to be declined due to negligence... so it's rather embarrassing to be declined. I'm assuming she used a credit card, not debit.

The message here is that women need to be taken care of because they can't pay for themselves. And if women can live and eat off the man's salary, why should they be paid as much? FYL OP. The sooner we get rid of the ancient customs that give credence to the idea of lower pay for women, the better. Women aren't ******* children, they don't need to be taken care of.

It's women like you that make the world a terrible, terrible place to live in. If the guy wants to pay, let him pay. It's polite, chivalrous, and expected of him to pay. You should take it as a compliment. I bet you're the type of person who gets mad when a guy opens a door for you too. What a fail. There's feminism, and then there's just plain being stupid about stuff. YDI

I clicked the wrong button. However, I want to make a new button: DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE, YOU EGOMANIAC BITCH.

HAHAHAHA I ******* roflmao'ed at #3 comment! xD xD xD xD way to go!

I think I would quite like that button, actually. Listen, feminism is a good idea, in theory. Just like communism is a good idea, in theory. Feminism was supposed to eradicate sexism, but it tried to just turn the hate towards men. That is why it has become a group of hypemongering hate addicts on the outskirts of any ideal of decency. Don't let people tell you they're better than you, because of a stupid reason, but don't fall to their level and use everything somebody does as a reason to call them a hater.

Feminist = sexist. Men and women don't have equal rights, they have different rights though. Males are always going go farther in athletics (we should all know that) and all of the feminists that try and prove their capabilities are just not accepting the FACTS. Woman are always going to be better at cleaning, though. It's not sexist if you are stating the truth, UNLESS you are trying to make fun of them, or look down on them. Paying for dinner has nothing to do with looking down upon woman. Even if the woman was poor, the man would still be doing a nice thing. And even if she was rich, she shouldn't care. If she was in the middle, she should just accept it. A man paying for a woman is normal, a kind gesture. A woman wanting to pay her share is fine. A woman calling the man a sexist, is stupid, and she she is actually the sexist one. The word feminist is sexist. If you are a feminist, then you are assuming the world is unequal between the sexes, which is pretty much the definiton.

Feminism is a good and noble cause, which tends to make people think that only good and noble people will support it. This is not the case. Disgusting, snot-nosed hatemongerers like you are not helping anyone achieve anything to further your ideal end. You and your nauseating, snobbish friends can go rot in hell where you belong. You wouldn't know what level of hell I want you in, because the protagonist of the Dovine Comedy is a man, isn't he? Oh, and Dante was a man, too, I guess. Oh, and you don't beleive in the Lord God our FATHER and his only begotten SON, I suppose you couldn't could you. But I'm a man too, so don't listen to me.
