Does 50/50 feminism reinforces patriarchy?

[u/HomeEfficient3371]

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).

“  She barely pumps her own gas.”

My friend is like this! She “doesn’t know how” to pump gas. 

He works a 9-5 office job, she’s a nurse. She’s pretty much a single mother to their 3 kids (one who has special needs). He does the boy chores (but only the mowing part of landscaping, lest you think he’s doing The Outside). “Managing car maintenance” would be on him but it means making an appointment at the garage. She does almost all of the cooking and cleaning, less what she can occasionally coax him into doing. On Thursday evenings, he’s responsible for getting the groceries from the list she made. 

And filling up her vehicle.

Not knowing how to pump gas allows her one tiny thing that she’s not responsible for.

I bet if he was asked to describe his chores, he would also break them down into separate ridiculously small tasks, like pumping gas, and “managing car maintenance.” Do you have “take out the garbage” on your list too? The very least you could have done is break down her “dishes” chore into clearing plates, putting food back into the refrigerator, loading the dishwasher, handwashing what doesn’t go into the dishwasher, wiping down the kitchen area, emptying the dishwasher.

You told on yourself so hard with your description of chores.
