5. I want to be taken care of too. (not that I ever have been)
And at this point I don't think I'll even discriminate on the basis of gender.

I don't know how to vote.

It seems like women have become alot more open about just stating they want ot be taken care of here in the last few (5? 10? 15?) years. But then, I know gay men who are looking for a partner who can take care of them, or who freely admit they want someone with money.

I don't know if something changed or if women are just telling the truth about stuff lately, like before in feminism they were pretending. Life sucks, and it's hard...I do sometimes resent female friends of mine who've always had their husband's income to rely on, like the friend who told me she could help me by 'putting me on a budget', but who married at like 19 to a guy who made $$$$. Yet at the same time with the struggles I've had and some discrimination I've faced I'm almost inclined not to fault women for looking for the person with the $$$ if that's what they want. At least they are honest.
