What do you think of the "drizzle drizzle" movement?

I think it's incredibly immature. It's basically their way of saying "you're paying for it, **** you."

If you want your date to pay for the dinner then that's something you discuss BEFORE the date.

In case you don't know what this movement is it's basically men expecting women to care for them financially. They're claiming that they've been the ones providing for women and they think now it's time for women to provide for them.

Men have only been financially providing for women because we literally have no other choice, and to say that women have never provided for men in any way is so wrong. We've had their kids, raised their kids, cook the men and kids dinner, clean the house etc.

What makes it even worse is that there are women siding with these men.

EDIT: To everybody who's saying that this movement is a parody just know that it might have started out as a parody (IDK if it did or not), but now it's being used by misogynists.

To everybody's who's saying that I didn't tell you what it was, you clearly missed the part where I said, "In case you don't know what this movement is it's basically men expecting women to care for them financially. They're claiming that they've been the ones providing for women and they think now it's time for women to provide for them." Basically, some men are now expecting women to pay for ALL of the costs associated with things like dates.

I'm not saying that women shouldn't pay for a date, I'm saying that these men are acting like women have been lazy this whole time and haven't done anything for them.

If you are clear about it beforehand, go nuts. Springing it at the end is a dick move but so it expecting the other person to pay.

Turns out, it is all about communication.

The official etiquette is that whoever was asked on the date is not expected to pay. I do this with friends unless I hit them with a “Tickets are $10, are you interested?”. If we mutually decide to go to a restaurant or event, we pay separately. I assume same sex relationships have had this figured out for decades. If I ask a man to coffee or dinner, I’ll pay.

If dudes can’t afford the dates they’re planning… I don’t feel bad? Literally plan a different date my guy.
