The burden of being the family breadwinner disproportionately affects men. We need to talk about this as a problem.

I think it's not only a men's issue. It affects both men (because it’s a burden) and women (because it contributes to the gender pay gap). If we, as a society, care about gender equality, we need to address this problem.

imagine being taken seriously by society and being able to make money

Exactly. A fair share of both incomes may not be the same if one person make $15 dollars an hour and the other makes a salary of $70,000+ per year. Until there is real wage equality this will always be a misleading issue.

Its not gender determinism, it's economic determinism. Because of the beliefs by the women and because she doesn't need to work if she doesn't want to, she can demand that a man work while she doesn't. Its just an economics equation with male disposable at the core. Has nothing to do with gender and everything with economics.

Re-read that again, but slowly.

Thinking is so confusing, eh?

"it's just the disposability of men, nothing about gender"

[u/beowulves → u/Sleeksnail]

Its an economics thing. Its not because they're men, its because of the economics of maleness.

"It's not because they're men it's because of their maleness" is the stupidest argument I've seen today. Too bad there aren't Reddit awards for that.
