I'm from the Pacific Northwest, in the US. I interpreted the post as being about how women wanting equality was somehow a negative. If the post were framed more like, "Men are unwilling to give up the status and do the labor necessary for gender equality" I'd be more receptive, though even that would be a generalization. I think the way it was framed, particularly as a generalization about "women" (as if that was somehow a homogenous group) stood out most strongly to me. Combined with the admittedly unclear idea that women want men to take their burdens...

That's the thing though, you or whoever are getting offended because people don't use drastically negative and judgemental undertones: "man be bad and not help women". Men's frustrations domestically must always be framed in a way where men are doing something bad to women. As opposed to just not wanting to do certain work, or disagree about how it should be done (or whether it should be done). Men are not saying that women should pick up the slack (others might be, but here we aren't). They're saying we'll just not have family, or the work should just not get done sometimes. Further, I would speculate that if women are (rightly) displacing men, and IF they also tend to want to date men that make more money, that could be a problem... ... or at least there could be a lot more single people. Seems to be happening already and driven by other forces (social isolation).
