Part 7/13:
The dialogue critically examines why society continues to uphold the notion that men should shoulder all financial burdens, especially in the context of women increasingly working outside the home. The argument posits that societal expectations perpetuate the idea that men are primarily providers, while women are expected to maintain their femininity and be trophies of beauty.
A significant point made is that women generally desire independence but also seek security—a paradox that influences modern relationship dynamics. Women want to "have their cake and eat it too," enjoying the benefits of financial independence without the pressure that comes with it. The conversation suggests that this ambivalence leads to the manipulation of traditional roles and expectations.
