Ballerific Relationships: Men or Women, Who Pumps The Gas?

While surfing the net yesterday I stumbled upon this pic of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West on Necole Bitchie's website. Much to my surprise Kim K was pumping gas. The fact that she's privileged and rich isn't why I was surprised. There were a few things going on in the photo that I didn't quite agree with.

Allow me to begin by saying that I am not stuck in the 60's and I by no means believe that only men should pump gas. That's a primitive way of thinking and for those that know me, I'm far from a primitive person.  I do see some things wrong with this scenario. The obvious being that this is Kanye's car and Kim wasn't driving. My thing is this - I will pump the gas all day long if it's my vehicle and/or I am driving. That's just courtesy. But I will be damned if I get out of the comfortable passenger seat to put gas in YOUR tank. If I were Kim, when Kanye stopped the car expecting me to hop out, we would have been some staring ass ninjas until he decided to pump his own gasoline. I mean, did Kanye buy the girl an Arizona Tea and a bag of Doritos from inside the store at least? Did he even get out of the car at all? Who paid for the gas? Is this the Lamborghini Kim bought him? He's got that girl trained, honey! Now, an exception to this would be if Kanye attempted to get out the car and Kim said "Don't worry, I got it!" but that would be too easy.

Is there some kind of standard to pumping gas when you're with your man? Should the man always pump the gas or is it up to whoever gets out of the car first? If you pump, does he pay? What's next -- Women holding the door for men?

I am not primitive but I am old fashioned. I do not open my own doors o pump gas when an able body man with free hands is around. Kim and chicks like her is what have these ninjas absent minded when it comes to chivalry.

I definitely wouldn't pump my own gas. I am training my son do it as well as open doors for me cuz I def believe in chivalry.

I wonder how that convo in the car went when they pulled up to the pump....

Comment by blackfujones on July 11, 2012 at 11:47am

folks still believe in chivalry but not submission..oh the irony

I grew up in a very traditional family so if there was a man from my family anywhere near my mother at a gas station, you better believe they were pumping the gas AND asking if we wanted anything from out of the gas station lol I pump my own gas if I'm alone or whatever but if I'm with my man, he always hops out and I usually get out with him to talk or run into the store to get something. I wouldn't mind getting out to do it if he got out the car as well but let his ass even think about staying in the car while I'm out pumping the gas, my respect for him would flatline (it's the principle of the matter)

@blackfu as you know I have no problem submitting but only to a chivalrous man. Yes it is one thing if Mr. is busy etc. Good thing for the most part we do not have this problem in Jersey you don't have to pump gas technically its against the law.

@ Blackfu..I have no problem with submission either my friend.

Just curious. What do black people have against working for wealth ? Why do they have to marry someone with money, and steal it from them.Continue
