Here some women are
Reluctant to let go of
The privileges

That come along with
Benevolent sexism.
Will this ever change?

Is it sexist to
Expect unequal treatment
In this day and age?

e. e. cummings style
Is good too! I'm ignoring
The nature stuff. Ssh!

My question was not
About that specific thread,
But the general rule

That "the man should pay"
And other similarly
Out-dated notions.

(I'm going for free verse rather than haiku. Aren't haiku supposed to have a nature/seasonal reference, anyway?)

No they're
Not.

They think that
If two people
With very different
Incomes
Actually care about
Each other
Then the one
With more disposable income
Should probably
Pick up more of the tab
Than the one
With hardly any.

Regardless of
Who has a penis
Or a vagina
In their
Relationship.

It's not sexist
To expect
Or hope
That people
Will act with consideration
Towards others.

It's sexist
To expect them
To do so
On the grounds
Of gender.

HTH.
