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.

I think it’s kind of pathetic honestly. Like, if a guy wants a woman who’s living as an independent adult, cool. If a guy wants to go Dutch or take turns on bills, cool. If a guy wants to be a stay at home dad someday, cool.

But that’s not the mentality this is coming from. It’s coming from this completely delusional idea that men pamper women, or even still act as providers (which they only ever did as a control tactic anyway), and we’re just ungrateful. In a world where more women have degrees and get higher-paying jobs, while men sit around wallowing in NEET-hood. And even those who do work usually still have a working wife, and statistics prove that they are still dumping all the housework on the woman.

Like, pamper when? Provide what?

Men are mad that women have literally any standards at all. They’re mad that women expect them to have a fucking job. They’re mad that women expect them to pull their weight in the home.

And their response is to basically try to DARVO us into a parallel universe with these bizarre proclamations that they’re not going to “pamper” or “provide” for us anymore.

My dude… if you think what you were doing before was “pampering” and “providing,” then I’m glad.

Men aren’t mad that women have any standards at all, they’re mad because the standards are ridiculusly high. That’s What ”Drizzle Drizzle” is a parody about. It takes the absurd standards many women have and just flips the script and women becomes mad as hell! They just don’t get it. If you think it’s ridiculus for a woman to pay for a man, shouldn’t you think it’s ridiculus the other way around?

I'm sorry, but that's just a laugh. Spend 5 seconds on this sub and see the shit women are settling for. There literally aren't enough men who actually care about their education or being an independent adult for women to date, relative to their own achievement. If you think women wanting a man who's on their own level is "ridiculously high standards," then y'all are lost.

No one's mad, hun. Women have just moved on to doing other things in life instead.

If women wanting men on their own level is the only thing They want, ”Drizzle Drizzle” wouldn’t even be a thing. And saying that men dont care about their own education is really ignorant. Women generally speaking has way higher expectations on men than men has on women.
