So, I'm a 26 year old Australian male, my fiance is a 25 year old Australian female.
We've both recently left white collar jobs where we, initially from start earned the same amount. Take into account, I had a few raises, a few bonuses in the 3 years I worked there. From the 3 months she worked at hers. Naturally, I earned more.
We've recently moved to Vietnam, were the standard workforce is flipped on it's head. Women work far more than men do, and you know what, I'm quite ok with this.
I work exactly 1105 minutes per month, my fiance works 1265 minutes per month. This is split with me taking the majority of the older classes, and my spouse taking the younger classes. Clearly, abiding by the perception (that I completely believe) that women, are more likely, to nurture children. I understand fathers can of course, be quite nurturing, but in my experience, it is not as common as females.
So, accounting for earning 220,000 VND an hour I earn 16,200,800 VND a month, and my fiance earns 18,550,400 a month combing, a total of 34,751,200. I am 100% A OK with this.
It is almost a funny remark at this point, that the country of Vietnam is run exclusively by women, it's why whenever you pass a coffee place, a beer place, a restaurant, anywhere. Who's the main clientele? Men.
So any time a feminist says "Men, are given far more opportunities than women" Please.... Please take a look at Vietnam, a country that revolves around the work women do.
Full disclosure, I've had a little bit to drink, my fiance is currently asleep but we are both happy to answer any questions you might have.
