    Just gonna point out the obvious that you may have missed… women can work while men do chores at home.

      In theory. In practice that’s not an arrangement most men and women prefer.

      If you have some life experience with the opposite sex, you should know this.

      You can downvote me all you want, once you interact with the real world many of these “progressive” ideas show themselves to be overly simplistic and ridiculous.

          Not at all, I was not speaking in absolutes specifically to avoid doing that.

        In the course of my work I discuss household income with many hundreds of people each year.

        I suspect I have infinitely more “real world interaction” in such matters than your good self, and can assure you that this isn’t some progressive woke nonsense, but just how family units operate in 2025.

          Maybe you have misunderstood me. Assuming you really are a counselor of some kind and not making this up, are you telling me that in your experience, men prefer to sit home and take care of the children while their partner goes out and works more than, or as often as, women do? If your answer is yes to this question, I will question your objectivity (or honesty), no offense.

          I’m not saying that you’re lying, but I reserve my right to be a bit skeptical.

            No, not “more than”, or “as often as”, but more often than you seem to think.

            In Australia it’s uncommon for someone to stay home exclusively with the kids for more than a year or so. Usually that’s the mother because she’s recovering from giving birth, breastfeeding et cetera.

            Thereafter one parent works full time while the other works part time. In this phase it’s usually about income. Whoever can earn more works full time. That’s usually dad that’s working full time, but certainly not always.

            Dad doesn’t need to be castrated and wear a frock or whatever to stay at home. In cases where mum and dad earn similar money dad might take back year off to stay home with the kids while mum works or something.

            I don’t expect you to believe me, but since you seem to be marvelling at my extensive real world experience, I’m a tax consultant.

        Except you’re just flat out wrong. Genitals do not = chore preference. Vaginas aren’t screaming out “oh please, let me stay home and clean while my husband goes to work” because its a fucking a vagina, not a personality.

        Source: i’m a cis, married, vagina owner. Fuck off you mysogonistic prick.

          Don’t tell me that you really think that genitals alone is what makes a man or a woman.

          Fuck off you mysogonistic prick.

          Let me tell you, I would never hate on vagina owners by virtue of them being vagina owners.

          Grow up.
