/me stares at "Privileges and rights only women get in society: [...] Right to be paid for on a date." So, are they calling for (more) male escorts? Because I can't think of any other category of "date" that has that right, offhand.

[azurelunatic]

Expenses of the date (meal, entertainment) paid by the other party, not compensated-for-time.

Hilariously, one of the 101-level feminist things is "I may wish to pay for either my share of the date, or pay for both of us, and you should not interpret this as an insult", which goes with "Just because you offered to pay for the whole date, or paid for the whole date without asking, does not mean that I will be or should be obligated to have sex with you".

[pauamma]

So by "right of the woman to be paid for", they actually mean "right of the man to pay and use that as a bargaining point"?

[azurelunatic]

In some cases, yes! Though I think some of them are well-meaning guys who are picking up on the general inequality of shit but failing to see the bigger picture.
