When I said that they should have paid for their own drinks, and that by not paying for their own shit they were validating the idea that women deserve less money and also ruining life for all us ugly misfit feminist broads who can't/choose not to get men to buy them things and instead have to earn them, I got shot down but other female co workers who said that I was being extreme.
From a female perspective, what is a man paying for when he pays for a meal? Certainly not just the pleasure of your company. How does a woman not feel like a whore when a man buys her dinner? Maybe I am being too extreme, but if you pay for something, it's in exchange for something unless it's explicitly quantified as a gift. If a woman doesn't put out, it doesn't mean she's not a whore, it just means she's bad at her job.
All I'm saying is that all the blow jobs I give out, I give for free.

I disagree. I'm also the type of female that pays my way when I go out with someone, but in the situations where that isn't the case, I most certainly don't feel like a whore, or that I'm contributing to the subjugation of women by letting someone pay for me. I don't feel like I then owe that person something, I feel thankful, and like it was a nice gesture..
I think the age old idea that men are SUPPOSED to pay on dates/completely take care of their women is utter crap, but if someone is insistent, I'm not against it, either. It's completely acceptable to me, as long as it's only occasional. In the same vein, I also pay for entire dates, etc, on occasion.
As for bills/rent/living expenses, you take care of your shit, and I'll take care of mine.
