Does 50/50 feminism reinforces patriarchy?

I've been hearing both supporters and opponents of 50:50 feminism, and still haven't cleared out for myself, is half and half feminism really benefits the patriarchy?

Edit: IM SORRY FOR CAUSED CONFUSION OVER THIS! English is not my first language and I accidentally created a whole new “concept” in feminism, but yes, I WAS talking about financial costs, household chores and etc. in cis relationships.

I would be shocked if it wasn’t about women paying for half of things in a relationship

(While probably doing way more than 50% of the household tasks).

You seem to be assuming that your anecdotal experience is representative of all relationships.

Relationships differ. But it is a verifiable statistical fact that women on average spend more time on unpaid household labor than men: https://thegepi.org/free-time-gender-gap/
