Married Women Should Refuse To Pay Rent Or School Fees - jon_d_doe

A man made a controversial post on X discouraging married women from contributing financially to their households. He wrote, “Dear married women, if your husband is forcing you to pay the rent or school fees of your children, tell him you did not grow up seeing your mother pay such for your father, and that it’s not your responsibility.”

The post frames financial responsibility in marriage as strictly gender-based, drawing on traditional household roles to argue that women should not bear costs related to rent or children’s education. It sparked debate around partnership, changing economic realities, and whether marriage should operate as a shared responsibility or follow rigid, inherited norms regardless of circumstance.
