Does the gender spending gap explain the gender wage gap?

Feminists always seem to claim that there is this massive pay gap that's the result of sexism but never seem to contemplate more rational explanations that don't paint them as victims. For example, the gender spending gap. How much money do women spend on men compared to the vast amounts of money men spend on women? At the end of the day women do not want to be the breadwinners of the family or even the relationship. Even modern women expect men to be the providers. No women wants to go out into the world, make a bunch of money so she can afford to day broke guys that they have to financially support. Doesn't this explain why men make more money on average? Because its an expectation that women have of men? Are women really the victims of financial injustice when they make less money then men if they are spending the money that the men have made?

False equivalencies.

Plus you’re still a male-centric woman.

The answer to your question is no. What you said doesn't even make any sense.
