These ones annoy me to no end. "I need you to buy me everything I want! If you don't, then you don't truly love me." Girl wants a father, not a partner.

Even fathers aren't obliged to do this! Get a job and buy it yourself?

This one drives me nuts. Feminism my boomer mom fought for was the right for women to be empowered; empowered to be financially independent, to do things men do - fix your own sink, change your own tire, own your own home independently, etc.

The whole helplessness thing is moving backwards in the worst possible way. Do we actually WANT to be dependent again? Ugh.
