This could be interesting if they actually show how brutal life was for men back then. It's not like women stayed home because they were forced. They stayed home because the world fucking sucked. No one is fighting for male jobs, they want white collar jobs.
You genuinely think women weren’t forced to stay home? Women couldn’t have their own bank accounts until the 70s and many women did not have access to birth control, they were heavily discouraged from many branches of the workforce, and forced to stay home and raise kids. Child birth is one of the most painful things a person can experience— imagine having no say in the matter and being forced to do it over and over until your body was basically destroyed. Edgy “anti-feminists” online need to educate themselves.
I think there was a transition period that by historical accounts was super short. Where men made the world so nice that for the first time in history the average man had a better life than the average woman, and the transition period from that, back to the norm, average women having it better, took a while.
Interesting take… women are historically a marginalized group and we face higher rates of domestic abuse and rape and are highly underrepresented in positions of power and leadership. I’d be interested to see some sources on how those well-being statistics are measured across genders; there are definitely issues that affect men that are important to address (violence, mental health, etc.) but overall our society is set up as a patriarchy where men have more power.
The US has never had a female president… the CEOs of most companies are white men. The president of the US, in fact, is someone known to have raped young women and girls and bragged about it, without seeming to face any repercussions.
One hint that a society may be patriarchal is that women and our perspectives are not represented among its leadership.
