I'm starting to get the drift that Captain Courageous does NOT like jokes about men paying for women (out of weakness and out of a feeling that it's the only way to get them).
I despise chivalry and basically think that it is the root of most of men's problems in this society. I don't want to blame individual men, because it is a broad problem, but when I see it in particular men, I call it out.
If you didn't have weak men paying for women, thinking that's the only way you can get any attention from them, you wouldn't have men complaining about being taken by women.
Similarly for most of the other problems complained about here. We need more Rhett Butlers and fewer sensitive new-age Hugo Schwyzers.
