The great gender wealth gap persists by socialising women to separate their emotions from smart financial decisions. They need to stop romanticising such rubbish

A man has asked a woman out on a date. They are at a restaurant. After their order has arrived and she is digging into hers, he starts video-ing her, and grilling her. Why has she ordered the most expensive items on the menu? She denies that she has, and points out that he chose the restaurant, and she’s just ordered its speciality. He lists the cheaper items she could have ordered.

This is classic ‘gold digger’ themed content. It’s very popular on social media and has a pseudo philanthropic quality. Like, it’s social service for men: How not to be fooled by those women.
