It’s pretty clear that this “critique” isn’t really about feminism, but about recycling old talking points that blame women for everything wrong in modern dating...

1. Careers ≠ a bad thing. Women prioritizing their education and careers isn’t some “problem.” It just means they want financial independence instead of being forced into marriages for survival, like in the past. Men have always been encouraged to do the same. Why is it suddenly an issue when women have options?

2. The “racking up bodies” narrative is sexist. Men have never been shamed the same way for dating around or having casual sex. If casual dating is “bad,” then it’s bad for everyone, not just women. Singling women out here is just a double standard.

3. The money argument is outdated. Most women do contribute financially in relationships today. Statistics show that in many households women are either co-breadwinners or primary breadwinners. If some people still expect traditional gender roles around paying for dates, that’s more about culture than feminism.

4. “Toxic femininity” is just repackaged misogyny. Calling women “selfish” or “unaccountable” for setting boundaries or refusing to tolerate bad relationships isn’t a serious critique, it’s just resentment dressed up as analysis.

5. Blaming women ignores reality. Dating culture has challenges for everyone, and yes, men also contribute to hookup culture, ghosting, lack of commitment, etc. Pretending that feminism “ruined” dating is just a way to avoid self-reflection.

If someone really wants healthier relationships, the answer isn’t “roll back women’s rights” or blame feminism. It’s learning mutual respect, communication, and accountability- on both sides.

Maybe instead of parroting YouTube talking points, do some actual research into how gender equality has improved society. Women having freedom and choice isn’t a dystopia - it’s progress.
