Why do men get so much more

So far I haven't really noticed much but lately I have been thinking about what women don't get and the abuse they get. For example men get paid more for exactly the same job, they also expect us to make their food and expect us to obey them and I feel they forget sometimes that we have the same rights (supposedly)

Also I feel that whenever I go for my evening run I get beeped at and shouted at.

I just wanted to know if I am not the only one who feels this.

If you're younger than 35-40 you're statistically more likely to outearn your male peers.

If your man expects you to obey him and make him his food you do not have to stand for that.

I remember when I made Christmas dinner, went to work that evening, and came home the next day to find the pots still there. My partner at the time was slightly surprised when I threw all the pots in the wheelie bin and returned his Christmas present to buy new ones rather than do the washing up, but after that, he pretty much knew where I stood.

If you love someone, you should be their partner, not their servant. When you have choices to make, make powerful ones.

That is illegal in the U.K. - if it's happening then it needs to be challenged.

You're not wrong that sexist behaviours still exist, unfortunately.

Maybe you should get a new job and a new husband.
