We’re aware that in the age of gender equality, it really just means getting all the positive aspects but keeping the benefits conferred by the “patriarchy.” We talk about lighter prison sentences and bias in family courts regarding custody or the splitting of assets, but we don’t talk about how we are accustomed to this notion of kicking the husband/boyfriend out of the shared bedroom or the house in times of dispute. Why? Why is the default that the man has to leave?

The very notion that of a wife getting kicked out enrages people. Why is one infuriating and not the other? I won’t pretend that I don’t get infuriated by this additional double standard on the mountain of double standards that are unfavorable towards men and so are neglected.
