It should be and often is. Most of the guys who complain about this though, don't do that. Its basically a set up. Read their accounts of how the date went down and you find that they ask a woman out without any discussion of a budget, take her to an overly expensive restraunt, order $100 wine and the most expensive thing on the menu and then pitch a fit when she doesn't want to pay half. Oh, and she had a glass of tea, soup, and a salad.
