So I saw this post on AITA and it actually quite annoyed me. I think it’s an example of subconscious missndry and social biases against men. In it, a man who is the sole provider is lambasted for not doing equal chores around the house. I think this reasoning is wrong, and I did a video on it

What bothered me about it was the thought that if the genders were reversed, people would have had a very different- if not polar opposite- reaction and response.

Basically, it’s an engaged couple, and the man is the sole earner. The woman is a full time nursing student, and does the majority of household chores. A situation arose where his lacking willingness to do chores became an issue. Now, I actually agree he should still be doing some degree of help, but as you’ll in the post, many commenters are attacking him for not doing 50% of chores, and recommended the chores he should be doing. I feel this is very unfair;

He is essentially providing for her entire life. She never has to worry about how she will afford to eat, or pay for rent, or anything else. So, I really don’t think it’s fair to ask him to do equal housework. Take her out of the equation, he has to do more chores for...literally just himself. Like I do as a person who lives alone. Take him out of the equation, however, and consider the difference- she starves and has to quit school.

Thanks to /u/garrison_road2 for bringing attention to the AITA post, and the post you did on unpopularopinion. I actually used some of your arguments in this video. I don’t totally agree that the sole worker should do zero chores (if that’s even your argument), but I generally agree with your sentiment and that most of the AITA posters are revealing subconscious gender bias against men.
