Yeah because post-modernism has lied to a whole generation about what gender equality is about. Women are told that focusing on their career is a moral good but most people’s careers only amount to being a capitalist cog. Plus, it turns out that raising children is absolutely fulfilling for many women.
The reason your friends transition to a traditional dynamic once they have a kid is because they lived the lie as long as they could so they could fit in with modern societal norms, and then once they were faced with the reality of raising a child, they quickly realized the error of group think. The worst part is that people feel pressured to shift to a traditional dynamic quietly because there’s so much shame around the decision, as if deciding to devote yourself to your family is less noble than working for a soulless corporation.
- X6S1x6Okd1st 5y agoWhy do you presume to know why they made that decision? Also why do you think that it's entirely about gender equality when the younger generations have grown up in an era where wages have stagnated and few families can get by on a single income? I have a lot more sympathy for the view that traditional gender roles have wisdom as I've had kids of my own, but it really seems like you are over-indexing on it which is especially offensive coming from a man who has historically benefited from the set up.
