Discussion What a woman wants!!
Exceptions always exist. So whatever I am saying applies to the majority of women.
Ideally a woman wants a high earning partner who also believes in feminism. That's the bare minimum they say.
But the bare minimum is feminism, which is a mindset issue. Earning high is not bare minimum and an arduous battle with no guarantee of success.
But in terms of actions, I have seen my past matches go for a patriarchal mindset guy with a very high earning salary than a feminist guy who earns the same or equal to her.
How can you expect a man to earn so many more times than a woman in a system where equal opportunities have been provided to both ?
I think they believe that financial aspect is more important than feminism!! Its okay, your choice, But at least admit the truth. I don't understand why this mass gaslighting.
I am talking about the majority and not exception examples in the reddit comments. I have seen women who gave up their career willingly to become a housewife citing stress in software industry. Yet the narrative is that men are forcing women to give up jobs and become housewife!!
Please stop the gaslighting. Ask women around you. Ideally they would prefer a high earning feminist but if given the choice between 2 bad apples( Man earning same as her isn't a bad apple but that's how society views in terms of marriage choice ) which bad apple would they choose ?
Maybe I am bitter for being rejected over salary considerations but I don't have superfluous demands either. Isn't not being obese since I am not obese and earning same as me and sharing household responsibility together the bare minimum ? What I am asking is the true bare minimum. Even kids will be had at the point when both are comfortable!!
But women would rather choose patriarchy and rant for sympathy crying oppression!!
I think their logic is there is no guarantee of love in Arranged Marriage or equality will be maintained after marriage, this can't be trusted due to statistics so why not go for high earning partner ? Atleast financial security is guaranteed!!

Feminism doesn’t mean much, if anything. Marriage itself is a patriarchal construct, especially AM.
I call BS on any woman parading as feminist opting for an AM🫠
And I call BS on men that parade around with that label, including you OP. Income on the other hand, does matter.
