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. 

>>30 A women who relies on me in any way that I don't rely on her is not someone worth having. I am a male (ruled by biology), not a man (trying to fit in an arcahic role enforced by society). Independence, confidence, self-reliance and personal strength or GTFO.
>>31 Um? Males need some more money for food, anti-perspirants but that's it. Everything else is what MEN are supposed to buy, mostly stupid shit we are expected to purchase in order to appear real masculine like (expensive shit = moolah = success = "your cubs are safe with me"). Women are taught to complete cosmetical, emotional, esthetical and social goals and that entails a shitload of wasted money (much shoes and giggles = win at life, just like Carrie Bradshaw!!!!!). The only wastes of money men get for themselves (cars, hobby-related stuff) are less expendable and multi-purpose. This doesn't make the purchase of them less pathetic however.
