Can we also talk about men getting divorced after a startup failure or prolonged 'death valley' period? Startup is always risky for anyone regardless of gender

Can we also talk about men getting divorced after a startup failure or prolonged 'death valley' period? Startup is always risky for anyone regardless of gender and that is why not many people take the risk.
I mean if the job sucks, and you can't afford it then don't do it. There is always an alternative option if you possess the skill set to succeed in startup scene. Applies both to men and women.
- memonkey 5y agoI don't know that this post is the place to shift a discussion about a women's experiences to that of men.
- atonse 5y agoThe thing is that, as a male startup cofounder with two young kids (my cofounder is a woman with two kids), I’ve found that I’m usually the one fighting to make decisions that allow me to spend more time with my kids, whereas my partner just can’t get enough nights and weekends to keep working. I don’t know if I’m the exception or if more dads just don’t talk about it. At a population level, this is still likely something women tend to prioritize more than men, and that you usually can’t have it all, but I don’t want to miss my kids growing up and no company is worth missing that, the one exception being all the COVID response work we’ve been doing. That’s been a worthwhile (and temporary) trade-off. Just wanted to say that there are also fathers struggling with that balance.
- duedl0r 5y agolol.. there is always someone trying to divert the discussion with "...but men also get raped!!" or "black people are racist towards white people, too!" good job!
