Why is being taken care of and provided for not seen as a privilege in Western Societies?

It might have a lot to do with the fact that every human required a woman to be safe and cared for, fkr 9 months to make them. Socially we have historically viewed this as of the utmost importance, as it is at the very core of human existence. Men want the best women to raise their kids and lend their dna to creating kids. Historically you’d make 6 and 2 or 3 would reach adulthood. A woman’s job was to create the future of humanity. Women who did not were called spinsters...

Some of this history echos today. But men don’t need to choose to be a father and provider. 2 income families are the norm. Women have expanded roles in the family.

Women have rejected being baby factories their whole lives, and that’s a good thing. The problem is the adjustment regarding the attitude about men hasn’t shifted much.

Being a provider and a father and traditionally masculine is good. But not all men want that. Just as women aren’t viewed as spinsters for not marrying and having kids, men shouldn’t be judged for the same sort of non-participation.

I'm sure it has something to do with who controls the narrative. No married guy is going to openly defend your points, while many single guys may not perceive it, since they don't participate in it.

It is just bullshit that has been allowed to grow and grow until we are all suffering for it now. Don’t expect logic, they want to the best of all things.
