Exactly. It also sets men up to always get the short end of the stick, from here on out.
It the past, due to the economic disenfranchisement of women, this mindset of transactional relationships benefitted men. That may be why they so doggedly adhere to them. Now that women are no longer dependent on men for their livelihood, men do not have the upper hand in a transaction. Demand has tanked. Supply has risen.
You're not going to have much success as an entrepreneur trying to sell something nobody wants or needs. It reminds me of Amazon's banana slicer.
The customer reviews are still ongoing and hilarious.
