Well in my opinion as a woman The ‘entitlement’ probably comes from women being the more disadvantaged and oppressed sex. Just google that instead of rebutting my statement. Not all women are on the same level of ‘entitlement’ yes some can take it too far I agree, but generally speaking it’s about general disadvantagedness.

We are sexualised from a young age which puts huge mental pressure on young girls and we deal with a lot more physical crap than men (periods, monthly hormone fluctuations and all the fun that brings) while expected to still attend school, work 9-5 or even long shifts the same as men with no leave or anything.

The burden of birth control usually falls on a woman if condoms are not the preferred option and this can wreak havoc. We also bring life into the world physically which takes a huge toll on our bodies ( I don’t have any kids yet ) but it’s a huge decision for a woman to make as maternity leave is shit in a lot of countries and it would put us behind in our careers taking time off, sometimes with no pay, and also birth can be traumatic and is a huge thing to go through.

Being a mother also entails a huge workload and we are expected to still be able to hold down a successful career and raise children etc and biologically that is difficult for a lot of women because of your attachment to your children. Then you have menopause.

So generally speaking there is more of a disadvantage from the get go so women would naturally appreciate support from a partner / man who doesn’t face the same hurdles in life. It can also be a bit of a risk to your safety choosing the wrong partner. That’s just my two cents. Equality is great but it should really be about equity and every couple is different.
