Funny how I gave an example and you suddenly attributed to meI know Men have a tendency towards violence. It's part of their statistical personality makeup. 93% of people in prison are Men, you are way more likely to be killed or raped in a Male Prison. You think I'm here to defend Men across the board? LOL
But you keep using these binary terms. Like it's an all or nothing argument. "All Men are Violent, All Women are useless." etc etc. There's more nuance to life than that.
I have no interest in portraying men as automatically violent. They can be good people who live their lives decently. Then you get outliers who find some woman all on her own and go all psycho
There should be more support indeed for guys going into caregiving etc and there is biases they face. It is an inequality that should be foughtok here's an actual discussion topic
Let us grant that women as a group are better at caregiving than men as a group. Let us also observe that while caregiving work is pretty much always available, it does not pay well - and in fact if you care for your own family, you can end up not getting paid at all and facing down an impoverished old age or at the very least a mad scramble in middle age.
Certainly men do not have an easy time of it naturally, just because they are men. A man can spend his entire working life doing backbreaking necessary toil and end up impoverished in old age.
In reponse to this, there have been labor movements where people have come together and used political and extrapolitical means to force society to compensate workers fairly. However, while we have had feminist movements that have opened up traditionally male employment to women, there have been effectively zero organized feminist labor movement to fairly compensate women for women's work.
The closest there has been is the creation of child support collection infrastructure. This was mostly done by men.
It seems to me like one of the reasons western society is collapsing is that women are fleeing the low and unpaid scutwork that is unavoidably part of caregiving like rats from a sinking ship. But this work is necessary. A huge amount of it used to be done by wives. A huge amount of it is just flat out not done by anybody now.
Maybe we could pay people to do necessary stuff?
I don't think however that "all women are seeking fancier jobs" is entirely true. Women have been trying to break into say garbage disposal work. And you get them on factory floors depending.
