Re: “Is it time for Charlotte ladies to pay up?”
Rule of thumb: When someone says they are NOT something (freeloader in this case) and then come up with all kinds of rationalizations for their behavior, it's less of a denial rather than a subconscious slip. Same thing with offering to make a (cheap) gesture of paying for drinks on the safe second date or insincere offers to split they don't expect to be taken up on. These are character flaws and we all have different ones. That doesn't mean we shouldn't try to shed as many as possible.
I chuckled over her rationalization she wants to feel "special" about him paying for the date when she views this as a general entitlement for women. In addition, it means that she views special as applying only to herself with the man being just another meal ticket in a long line of ATM machines. A real "lady" wouldn't be going out with lots of strange men. It reminds me of the Rush Limbaugh controversy where the feminist ladies were all outraged at him calling them by a derisive, albeit descriptive term even as they claimed that they were now liberated beyond such labels.
If she and other such women want to be real ladies, fine. Then don't stop at just a cheap drink on the 2nd date. How about washing dishes and doing all the diapers for the rest of their natural lives even if they have a full time job?
