How do women decide what traditions are sexist and which ones are fair?

For example, I know many women still have an issue proposing to a man instead of vice versa. They feel as though it's something a man should do.

But doesnt this slow the idea of equality among the sexes?

Surely anything a man can do, a woman should be able to do, right?

    No, I don't think women can/SHOULD do anything a man can do. We're different. I'm not a feminist though. If you subscribe to that ideology then, yes, a woman should be able to do that.

    The barometer of these things are still set in the old-school way of thinking. Some women want to be courted and all that while still wearing the pants so to speak. Their right, just not what I personally would want.

    More or less, the ones that benefit them are fair and the ones that don't are 'sexist'. Then again, some women have a high rank in the 'hard on hos' army.
