All traditional relationship thinking is a cope at best and at worst it's being used against men. Women have better job opportunities, education prospects and specific marriage laws to make sure they always come out on top at their relationships. They usually discard the man and destroy his life in this process.
I've noticed a resurgence of traditional gender roles, but only when it's convenient for foids. Bullshit like "his money is our money but her money is hers", "real fathers step up!" and "men have to pay for their dates" are being spewed. Of course, we can see right through this and perceive it as predatory and entitled behavior from foids, but simps are falling for this and even supporting it. Ultimately, this is another loss for men, because there are so many simps doing these things, which makes women feel like it's an obligation for men to do.
