Hi!

I reckon that my girlfriend is a good person. We have many common friends, have already been on a holiday together and she is a very loving person. However, I find myself in situations where I think that she’s acting pretty selfish.

Financial issues are a big red flag: we usually take turns paying when we're going out, but still, I often end up paying at least a part of the bill. Once, we were planing to go out with my friends and I was waiting for her because she was already late. She arrives by running towards me, jumps on my lap and starts kissing me as if we hadn't seen each other for weeks. But as soon as we get in the subway, she goes "Well, I have 20 bucks for both of us, but if that's not enough, you can pay the rest of the bill". 20 bucks is definitely not enough for this restaurant and she went on a shopping trip earlier that day. When I tried to discuss it, she changed the subject "And I forgot to bring my jacket" (which usually implies: give me yours). After our money talk, she completly changes her attitude: I have to keep the conversaton going whilst she replies with short phrases or is rather focused on her business. When we leave the subway, she's suddenly not so eager about holding hands or kisses.

Don't get me wrong: I'm don't think that she is only my girlfriend because my parents are rich. But her behaviour is so weird. It's not like she's poor - she's spending a lot of money on travelling, clothes or 13 bucks per cocktail. I have the impression that she is walking all over me.

In my previous relationships I've been taken advantage of every time, I don't want that to happen again.

Stay safe!

I am very against modern (western/european) feminism which is in many ways just a bunch of loud-mouthed attention-seeking idiots falling into the acts (free the nipple, acting/dressing cheaply, etc.) that original feminism was against (sexual objects/male entertainment). I rarely hear them protesting actual discrimination (oh there's some but they're not the norm, not when you've sluts like the Kardashians claiming to be "feminists") & their ideas of a protest for many is bearing their breasts & writing some stupid slogan (turning them more into a joke than anything worth respect).

But then modern feminism is due more to the 2nd wave feminism which copied a lot of the hippie-era ideology (so much for their originality).

And thus not many are real feminists. Many, after all, wouldn't know hardship or discrimination due to their sex if such fell out of the sky & landed on their lap. Back in their mothers, grandmothers & great-grandmothers era after all running their mouths & running about like the local prostitute would have caused a lot of problems for them not have them clapped on the back & told "good twit".

Below, in comparison, is a real feminist. This is a woman worthy of respect. Not many others (particularly in modern western society) can say the same.
And I say that as a 4th generation feminist whose grandmother fought her way (on her own hook, having never remarried her equally poor school boyfriend) from dirt poor uneducated to educated quite well-off property/landlord owner.
