One girl said "the guy should pay for my dinner" -- later clarifying that she felt that way because she likes to take on the traditional role in dating, which is fine.

I still haven't been able to watch the whole thing, but apparently he says that women should be grateful to men for protecting them? That's definitely closer to "women are weak and helpless flowers", ugh.
