Before Pearl asked this question, she tweeted that she hates the fact that men can get away with things that women cant.

Social media users in Mzansi reacted to Pearl's tweets and added their take on her complaints. Take a look at the reactions below:

"Men this, men that. Stay away from men if that is the case."

@SiceloLubisi commented:

"She will be in a man's arms tonight but she keeps annoying us here on the Twitter streets."

@emperadraz said:

"I'm not surprised most women in the comments are denying having financial expectations. It's a taboo subject. It exists. But we just don't say it out loud. Outwardly, you don't have any expectations. Secretly, that's just life"

@Jaybo225 commented:

"Women think they want this until they're old, unmarried and without the family they dreamt of having."
