Somehow, the moronity of morning talk radio this morning tied in with the post I was intending to write on "posession and ownership" (hopefully to be out by end of lunch today, too

When my cousin was proposed to, she turned around and got her fiancee an engagement ring of sorts as well. I say "of sorts" because it was styled for a man's hand, rather than being a thin band with a princess cut diamond, but it definitely went on the appropriate finger.
In a paraphrase of her words, "If I'm going to be wearing a sign that I'm off the market, then he's going to, too."
From some random bit of news once, a man sued for the return of the engagement ring after the engagement had broken off, and the court ruled that it was to be returned on the grounds that it was tantamount to a contract that was now broken, not a symbol or gift.
I wish I could remember the specifics. The only thing that stuck in my mind was that the ring had to be returned. :)
I agree with what you say, and I'm fine with a few sexist throwbacks. Like only the man buying something symbolic at engagement, and the woman giving me head with my supper.
And she should give back the ring.
Oh, this reminds me of something I read in overheardinnyc
Girl: I won't be taking his name. Guy: Why not? You took his ring.

I'm actually a huge fan of giving a ring that you're proud of, one which required real, mature effort to get. For many guys, that's the first step they've ever had to take on their own, as a man. As much as I love boys & guys, and dating them is fun, committing to someone before he's ready to step up and buy a ring

I have a vague thought that wedding bands were once only for the bride and not for both partners, but I'm not sure where I got that information from.

and I can't tell where, if anywhere, you're being tongue-in-cheek with the rest.

But head with my supper sounds smashing.
