Shit goes both ways.

The odd anecdotal exception doesn't contradict the statistical trend where women are much more likely to be the one at home than men are.

[–]unclefisty 5 points6 points7 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Have two brothers in law that leach off the women they're with.

And society at large will look down upon them as lesser creatures. Women who do this face far less criticism, and in some cases this is treated as a laudable accomplishment.

So I do agree that both sexes can do this, but it's not treated the same way.

[–]Sasha_ 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

Your brother-in-laws are pretty atypical, and probably quite wise.

[–]Teraperf 6 points7 points8 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Why is it that when a man does it, it's okay? Isn't that what we're against? Gender based discrimination?

[–]Sasha_ 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

In my experience there are couples where either the wife contributes more-or-less equally, or where the male partner is looking after children and the wife's the main earner - of course there are; in fact I imagine this accounts for the majority of families.

Women being the sole breadwinner though? I think that's probably very unusual, and what tends to happen is it's female friends and relatives of the woman who spread disent of the situation.

When the housing market crashed in 2008, I knew loads of men in construction who suddenly lost their jobs and were looking after kids. My experience is that it was women who were putting pressure on them, not men.

She keeps telling him to get a higher paying job so they can afford a bigger house

She needs a house with a big pool, so that she can hire a poolboy to fuck while he's slaving away.

I stopped reading at "the most important job in the world" comment.

[–]nerdkingpa 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Parenting to me is "the most important job in the world" I don't take issue with it being called that. That however doesn't exempt anyone from financially contributing.

I’ve asked, and sometimes pleaded, for years with you to get a job, any job.

And that, gentlemen, is why you need to take the Red Pill.

Had he told his wife, instead of asking or pleading like a submissive beta, she would most likely have obliged and would actually have been happier in the long run because most women can't respect a man who does not take charge. Even feminists. Especially feminists. See: #maletears.
