Should Women Make Equal Incomes?

I used to think so.  After a little consideration, however, I notice that men have god knows how many social obligations to do everything for women.  If taken out to eat, it is customary for the MAN to pick up the tab.  When dating, the MAN is supposed to buy her expensive shit, like jewelry, to name one. 

As long as society pressurizes and expects men to wait on them hand and foot, I think the fact that men tend to make higher incomes is justified. 

>>15 No. 14 here probably considers everyone that tries to explain the situation without pointing at patriarchal structures as "kinder, kirche, küche"-people. Which is dumb. A female baby could be raised into the next hyper-stressed, moneymaking ladderclimber, and any male baby could be trained into some kind of opposite. I have no problems with gender roles per se, I just think the roles are to distant, destructive and that society works against itself by enforcing them.
