24-year-old girlfriend refuses to pay for boyfriend’s dinner when he’s low on cash, his friend’s overhear and mock him for “not wearing the pants”

Gender norms and stereotypes have been around since the beginning of time. Don't you think early Neanderthals and cavemen were also judging women for their looks, or if they're dainty enough, while women were gossiping over who was the most robust and muscular of the men in their tribe and community? Of course, these norms had to start from something, but that's hardly to say that it means we have to perpetuate them in our modern, educated, and technological society of 2025. 

Whether you're all in for traditional practices and customs, thinking the man always has to pay and open the door, and that the woman is a docile, innocent creature only there to look pretty and be taken care of, discussing gender norms can be an interesting thought experiment. It also begs the question as to what defines a quality as being masculine, and what defines a quality as being feminine.
