In fact, capitalism is the cause of that culture. People (men and women) bemoan being "unproductive", dread it, and apologize for it, because modern society bombards you with conflations of productivity and self-worth. This thinking is clearly wrong. We all have inherent value.
Thankfully that has begun to change. If you believe women do not feel that way, perhaps it is because of feminism's roots in socialism. Certainly feminism does not say much about the value of unproductive men.
