Men tend to work themselves to death in much higher frequency than women. Women benefit from social fabric when they are at the bottom, even homeless women are housed (at unfixed address) while men really are on the street.
I’m of the impression that we can’t reduce gaps without introducing the threat of social declassment of women when they fail.
- groby_b 5y agoDid it occur to you that a better alternative is to provide a safety net for both men and women, instead of taking the response "if i can't have it, you can't either"? Engaging in a race to the bottom, ensuring everybody is equally bad off, is maybe not the best strategy to ensure equal treatment. (yes, it works. It's just not very productive)
- laurent92 5y agoYes. What if neither is possible? - People do not want to provide this safety net for men, - People psychologically resist to remove it from women. Equality is not possible.
- groby_b 5y ago"do not want" isn't "isn't possible". It takes work to effect that change, but it isn't impossible. As for the second statement: Removing a safety net from somebody else for equality's sake is the equivalent of a three year old smashing their toy so their brother can't play with it either. Yep, equal outcome is guaranteed now, but there's a more adult way to handle it.
