I think the point is valid, but maybe not presented well. When the 40 hour work week was established, the understanding was that a single parent could work and earn enough for the family.
Now, two earners are not just common they're almost required. People are stressed, wondering how they're supposed to juggle work and family and chores and all of the other things that need to get done and the answer is that they shouldn't have to juggle so much.
To be clear: women having the ability to work is undeniably a good thing. Women don't have to be beholden to finding a good husband, they have options now, and workplaces have benefited from new perspectives. But it also got messed up by capitalism making it the default expectation... More people joined the workforce, but wages just sat still and ate up the gains.
I'm not saying women should choose family over career, I'm saying that it should still be an option today for one parent to make enough for the family to live off of so that the other parent can help balance the workload of life better.
OP was explicitly sexist throughout their comment starting with:
I think their presentation was a deliberate choice in order to make a traditional, conservative family structure appealing to the left. I've seen this talking point come up a few times recently and I'm not going to just ignore tbe sexism. Working from home, shorter work weeks and more of the profits going to workers are ways to tackle people being overworked. Sending women home to work for their husbands is not the solution.
Yeah on a second read it's more explicitly sexist than I initially thought. I still stand by what I said tho.
In general women will lose respect for a man that is not providing. Thats why I said it.
In general that seems to also be part of yor sexist attitudes.
Are you saying that you don't believe most women will leave men that does not provide for them? Cause thats not sexist it’s Facts! Also why was your take on my post only about sexist instead of the point I made that we are both over worked?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSQyDEZKJYs -Here are women saying exactly my "SExISt" point.
Overworked? Having trouble providing? Wife looking to divorce you? Figures. You're pretty nasty. Take your red pill misogyny back to reddit.
When you assume, you make an ass out of you and me.
