> Women can just marry someone after college and make the husband pay off all of their college loan debt for their women's studies major or whatever.

> Women have far more options with career paths these days, and very rarely have to worry about money.

That's some first class trolling there.

Not trolling. I've seen my female friends do this many times/seen my male friends have to do this for their gfs/fiancees/etc. People have really different standards of what's acceptable based on a person's biological sex. Again, note that it's something that's not a given in gay relationships, because they don't usually follow heterosexual cultural scripts. I wish people would study it more because I think it's potentially a really interesting way to investigate heterosexual gender roles and norms.
