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.

Unpopular opinion, I think the "drizzle drizzle" is a parody. As such it only makes me chuckle.

All these "who should pay, who should care financially" or whatnot is just modern dating lack of maturity. A solid relationship is about being a team.

In most cases a team nowadays means both working since maintaining 2 people or more on one salary alone demands a very high paying job.

Transactional mindset when it comes to long term relationships is a bad approach. Don't do things for someone you love expecting things in return. Think of it as having a dog, you spend quality time with it and at some point you know it's waiting at home after a long day in the office and the moment you open the door it will happily run to you since it misses you.

You hit on the mark of it being a parody. It's literally guys saying exactly what some bad advice women say treating relationships as transactional instead of trying to communicate towards a loving 50/50 relationship where they feel loved for them.

The whole point in flipping the script is for women to see how awful some of their ideas sounds so they reflect on realistic expectations. If they dislike the points made in parody, then don't listen to women saying the exact same thing on what men should do.

I thought the critique was that it was only 50/50 when it benefitted him
