Op, it’s worth exploring further, where did you get the idea you’re Lower than men, that all women are, that we are all unequal , that we are some form of lower class than men, and we need them to pay for us and look after us, that we will be disadvantaged in pregnancy, and that dating is to see if a man will pay for you and care for you? Is there a cultural or religious thing at play here?
did no part of you ever think you’re an equal. Capable of earning, and doing the same things as a men can? Is it religion, culture. Your up bringing. Do you not know any women who you perceive as equal to men?
many of us are not disadvantaged in pregnancy, no one needs to be, it’s about getting your life in a position where you will not be, a suitable career, a good maternity policy, a solid relationship with someone who will do 50 percent of the child care and house hold chores.
I’ve never been unequal. I never have felt unequal, I don’t perceive myself to be unequal and neither does my daughter perceive herself to be. She’s any man’s equal. This doesn’t mean inequality doesn’t exist in some micro pockets, but women have the ability to make decisions, that do not allow them to be unequal. To live their lives that make them equal.
i find it really sad that you think you’re unequal, that you think all women are. And that’s you’re so needy round men because of it. Even on a first date.
if you do find a relationship, it won’t be one of equals. Because you don’t even perceive yourself that way, so yes likely you will be disadvantaged. Bit this isn’t having high standards, it’s the opposite.
having high standards is being with someone because you want to be, to be able to earn a living, make decisions that don’t rely on men looking after you and paying for you and even on the micro level. Being able to get yourself home with out an escort, like your date did. Even being able to dress appropriately. Wearing 4 inch heels you can barely walk in as they look nice, or in clothes that leave you feeling cold, again I assume as you thought it looked nice, it’s just a micro example of poor decision making. You dressed for what you thought this man would like, making yourself unequal due to your own discomfort. And I don’t think you’re even a young woman who doesn’t know better.
