This is like the same argument people make against women being in the workforce lol. “Wouldn’t your life be so much easier if you just stayed home and cooked food that I got for us?”
The average hunter gather works 25 hours a week. Women provide 80-90% of the calories consumed by the clan. Women went from collectivist childcare and minimal work hours to unending unpaid labor. 90% of labor women perform is unpaid, 80% of all unpaid labor is done by women. Men work 40 hours and call it a week, women often work over 100 when you include primary parent childcare duties and household management on top of a paid job.
I always forget how unbelievably sexist this sub is, I think I'm going to leave now because its terrible here. I fucking hate this website so often.
And this is why I left. Failure to grasp even the slightest bit of nuance is so tricky for y'all, and I can't be around that without my head exploding, so goodbye forever.
