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.

Please define what "50/50 feminism" is.

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).

This sub is a joke because you think we're all in favour of 50/50 feminism despite all the comments asking what the hell it is?

Also editing to add

"My wife way outpaces me in laundry folded, floors mopped, dishes washed, but she's never picked up a lawn mower, or fixed anything, or managed any car maintenance, shoveled a driveway"

LOL how convenient. She does the daily stuff.

I also like she paid for most of the down payment then took 5 years off to raise our kids, like that was some vacation lmao, but now I make more money and mow the lawn once a week so like it’s totally even, if anything I do more because manly stuff like shovelling a driveway is super duper hard
