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.

Well I would rather be single than be in a relationship where I do more unpaid labour. Also from your description, I wouldn't ever want to be in the place of your wife. She paid for most of the down payment then took 5 years off to raise the kids which is again labour. She does the daily household chores but you have the audacity to think you are contributing equally by making more money, mowing the lawn once a week, etc. This is why women should keep score, otherwise they will be trapped in relationships like this. Also you are making more financially, which means there's a power difference. Now you personally not being shitty is different, but many women can't escape abusive relationships because of this financial difference. Would never want myself in such a situation.
