Just a thought.
Today, I had an interesting conversation with my boyfriend. We spent the bus ride to my house discussing roles in a relationship.
"Taylor, women have it so easy. What do they even do?
"They have to be there emotionally for their man and take care of him. I don't know; they do a lot!"
"C'mon! Guys have to ask the girl out, pay for everything, protect her and tell her she's beautiful, even when she's not. You try it; it's not easy."
"Technically, they don't have to do it."
"But you know you would be mad if I didn't."
"That's true."
"Exactly."
It left me wondering if relationships were really equal, or if the lack of a woman's responsibility in a relationship was a single triumph in a world of male-favored inequality.
