You just can’t fight nature

Gender roles are based on nature, not societal pressure, customs, or whatever feminists would like to believe. They developed out of men and women’s innate differences. Men are better and some things, and women are better at others, on average. So the fact that your wife won’t respect you if you’re a stay at home dad is no surprise to me.

While attitudes about women working have evolved considerably, social pressure on men to be breadwinners is still strong...

...It's emblematic of an "asymmetrical revolution," says Sayer. "The role of women has changed a lot, but we have seen far less movement in the roles of men," says Sayer. "That men be breadwinners still seems to be very salient for couples. If a man is not bringing in some money, it seems to be unacceptable."

So men are responsible for supporting themselves, but women are not. That’s fine with me, but it doesn’t fit with our laws designed to promote women’s careers through affirmative action and education subsidies. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. But don’t bother trying to tell that to a woman. They’re not capable of understanding basic logic.

And speaking of stay at home dads, what about stay at home wives who don’t even have kids? You may call them “deadbeat wives.” But I digress.
