Thanks for sharing. Yes, the "patriarchy" is female. I switched to a 4 day work week 10 years ago, unrelated to children (we don't have them). On the 5th day I work on my personal projects. To this day I have to "explain" it, even to friends and family. Even though I make plenty in those 4 days and we have everything we need and more. Meanwhile, the vast majority of women here work part-time even before having children. No questions asked. The male purpose is clear, and we should stop pretending otherwise.
