    The guys who are under the false assumption that all a father has to do is provide food and housing while the mother handles the rest.

    It's a personal gripe, yeah, but I think that kind of thinking happens early where children use that to expect things from other men.

    Boys grow up expecting not to do emotional labor and assume that women/femme people would. Women and femme people then have the whole financial disadvantage of not being cis men plus having to deal with cis men who think they have the easy work.

      At the age when people my age having kids is getting common. So many stories about new dads not doing anything around the house while the new mom works all day then takes care of all household chores. My cousin's husband wasn't left alone to care for their first born until like 5 months in.

      Oh hey do you know members of my family?

      My hot take is that Men shouldn't get married until they are 30. Learn to take care of yourself.

      Women and femme people then have the whole financial disadvantage of not being cis men plus having to deal with cis men who think they have the easy work.

      A great article that circulated a couple of days ago intersecting Feminized labor with Neurodivergence, Executive Function Theft.
