In the age of equality between men and women, why do men have a house and a car when they get married?

Looking at it now, it is unreasonable to ask the man to have a house and a car, which is completely caused by the social marriage tradition. On the one hand, the woman asks the man to have a house and a car, on the other hand, she shirks her responsibility and demands greater family rights in family income and parental support, which is inherently unbalanced. It is a simple truth that whoever makes great contributions has great power. If we want equality, we should be equal not only in rights, but also in obligations.

In the past, a man left home because he was able to gain high status and major rights in the family, while relatively disadvantaged women had almost no right to speak. The traditional view is that when a woman marries a man's family, she leaves her family, and she doesn't pay too much for her parents' pension and other issues. To a certain extent, it has added a labor force for the man's family to marry the woman, so it seems logical for the man to leave the house at this time.

But now the fact has changed, and the status of women is constantly improving, which is followed by the income that is no longer lower than that of men. The increase of income will inevitably lead women to fight for their rights in the family, but they ignore the unity of rights and obligations. If you want to gain rights, you must pay more for your family. But now there is a phenomenon. On the one hand, the woman's family wants a house and a car for a high bride price, on the other hand, the income belonging to the newly married family is secretly distributed to her own family, and there is little support for the man.

Such equality is one-sided. If we want to gain real recognition and respect from society, we must assume the responsibility of family. In the face of high housing prices, it is unfair and unrealistic to squeeze only the man's family. Since it is difficult to break the tradition, we will take a neutral attitude. The down payment of the house is still paid by the man, and the mortgage is paid by both men and women. I think this is the current equality between men and women.
