Hi there, I really enjoy reading your comments. And hahaha, I am actually a woman. How dare you question my gender just because I share ideas that go against how women are "supposed to" think in modern society! (Just kidding, I don't take offense - it made me laugh!)

My articles and opinions are mostly commentaries on how I have observed dating culture today to be - not a reflection of how I think things should be. I am intentionally controversial. I enjoy starting conversations that people are afraid to start. Especially being a woman myself, it inspires responses from people who - if I were a man - would be so hostile and dismissive that we wouldn't get anywhere. That's why I really enjoy thoughtful comments like yours. You're adding to the conversation in a much more productive way than just, "I hate this! You're wrong!!!"

Believe it or not, I actually agree with a lot of what you shared. I personally don't think relationships should blindly conform to traditional expectations of men and women in society. (Although I would argue that many people prefer certain traditional roles.) In my own relationship, my boyfriend was a graduate student while I had a full-time job. During this time, I didn't mind paying for most of our dates, while he contributed to our relationship in other ways. I'm not a blind traditionalist, nor do I believe that "only women can cook and clean" or "only men can go out to work." (I also love a man who can cook, haha. And I am pretty career-driven myself.) Honestly, I don't think I would want to date a hardcore conservative like the one you described, either. But in my experience, moderate-to-conservative men aren't as awful as many women believe.

I could write articles about "why women don't just belong in the kitchen" and the like, but there is already tons of content out there like this. I like to share thoughts, ideas, and observations that aren't what everyone else is already saying. (Granted, I am a new writer and am still very much working on my delivery - that much I'll admit. I hope to improve my articles to contain more nuance, like what I am unpacking with you here.) Overall, I am not writing to gain brownie points or to have everyone like or agree with me. I write to show that women think for themselves and can have diverse opinions. I write to spark dialogue and original thought. And if that makes me appear as an undercover redpillian man, so be it!

Thanks again for reading and sharing your thoughts! I hope you'll continue to do so because I really enjoy your comments. Have a lovely day!
