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.

So in your opposition to "gender roles", surely, you are going to be consistant, and also oppose the "gender role" that men seem to have, which socially at least, dictates that they financially take care of everything?

For some reason, if the man doesn't, he's an "ass" according to society.  I find it strange that many of those who say as much also proudly proclaim they are in favor of equality between the genders.
