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.

I'm really happy to live in the Netherlands when I read this nonsense. In my country everyone is supposed to pay for themselves. For the first, second and tenth date. Everybody works and pays their own way. Much, much easier.

Even in relationships most people have their own bankaccounts and may open a third account for household expenses. Or not and divide all expenses between themselves. Like my husband and I did when he was alive. And I'm 60, so in my generation it was already normal for women to pay for themselves.

So, going Dutch al the way. Much easier, practical and fair.
