Did feminism make dating better or worse?

Better

Worse

Makes no difference at all. There are all kinds of different people and all of them won't be compatible. If a woman who wants to be treated as an equal and valued as something more than a life support system for a reproductive system annoys or scares you simply look elsewhere. Easy peasy.

Fair enough, but a lot of First world countries. The birth rate and marriage rate is lower than ever, do you think that's just because choice?

I think economics has a ton to do with it, especially here in the states where corporations havebeen allowed to run amuck, refusing to pay people a living wage, cutting hours reducing benefits. Productivity is WAY up and so is income inequality. Many jobs you could work into with no college when I began my worklife now require a degree, which will cost you far more than when I was in college (I worked a part time commission sales job, and recieved a small Social Security death benefit as my father died when I was 11). I could pay 12 hours tuition and books with a couple $400 SS checks and never even DREAM of being in debt. The young ones I know have no sense of stability, can't see buying a house, and aren't confident they can provide on a long term basis as an employer can fire you as quick as shout BOO! No reason necessary. Diminishes confidence and comfort level. Literally EVERYone feels more precarious now than back then. Massive factor.

Feminism has made dating worse, but it's also one factor amongst others.

Bad because there is confusion about who should pay for things. This causes awkwardness.

It made no difference unless you are a feeble, insecure idiot.

Trying to find anything to blame except yourself eh?
