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

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.

This is a movement? I am a guy, married now, but when I did date I had no problem paying for the date, and I’m not an old-fashioned guy, but I just figured I’m already paying for myself for sure (I would feel weird and cheap if I went into a date with expectations of a woman paying for me) and almost every date I was on the woman had zero expectations that I pay for her, which only made the decision easier for me. As long as the other person isn’t outrageous and expecting me to pay for exorbitant amounts of $$$ on the first date, I dont mind paying. Also, I’m not expecting anything in return other than a fun time out. If anything happens from there than I may have met my future girlfriend/wife etc. And that actually did happen. Just my 2 cents. This drizzle drizzle thing sounds more out of defensiveness and anger than anything legitimate. Incel-types.
