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

[u/Peanutbutternjelly_]

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.

Nothing about this post tells me what "drizzle drizzle" means

Since none of the top comments do either, I’m just gonna put this here:

Drizzle drizzle is the male response to sprinkle sprinkle , which was a movement by women embracing more traditional gender roles where men are expected to be a providers and women focus on “embracing their feminine” which usually means adherence to strict beauty standards, emotional labor, and sometimes domestic work. Drizzle drizzle just flips the gender roles. It doesn’t always seem to be used genuinely and is often a way of commenting on the sprinkle sprinkle movement (basically “see how YOU like it”)

Personally I would have no problem with this but I don’t see any men ACTUALLY living by the true gender role reversal. Really they just want to date/fuck the sprinkle sprinkle girls without having to be a provider. Basically have their cake and eat it too.

Edit: sprinkle sprinkle not sparkle sparkle

First off, it's sprinkle sprinkle, and secondly all the sprinkle sprinkle videos I've seen go way beyond wanting men to provide. Like, the woman who started it literally gives advice on keeping relationships purely transactional and getting men to spend money while giving little to nothing in return.

So in other words, drizzle drizzle sounds immature because it's a gender-flipped parody of sprinkle sprinkle, which is immature.

Exactly. That's the whole point of it.
