Segregation of labor really started just recently. Go back 10000 years and you’ll find a more even split of roles. 10000 years is fairly evolutionarily negligible- we’re largely the same, aside from some immunity quirks, homeostasis tweaks, gamete peculiarity, and cultural differences.

Pluck a baby from way back and raise it today and you’ll just be raising a pretty average immunocompromised baby.

All of that to say, “women should be in the kitchen for their own good” is unsupported by an even slightly broadened perspective. I’m pretty sure Vikings aren’t coming to rape and plunder your 200 person town, bud. Hiding your wife away is just abusive.

    Case in point, men and women are almost 50/50 in STEM careers around Eastern Europe due to the USSRs policies pushing more women into these careers.

    People don't realise that these norms they hold as dogma are so short-lived and subject to change that opposition only shows them unable to comprehend history past their lived experience.

    It's ashame they have to drag us down with them.

    around eastern europe -> contries in eastern europe that dont support this claim dont count obviously

    due to ussr -> ussr not mentioned in citation

    Anyway, this is a way too broad statistic that clumps together tons of fields which are actually pretty split. Basically statistics gerrymandering.

    During the golden age of the "American dream" where a man had a car, a house, and a family, didn't the housewives end up relying on all sorts of pills and shit to not go crazy stuck in the house all day?

    Pills, shopping, and racism. Historically, people have always numbed their minds to cope with the rapidly changing reality we live in, though largely with alcohol and funny plants.

    See the men will bring a utopia of hunger, homelessness, war, and crime. And if you call it anything other than a utopia they'll act as though you're spitting on the very foundations of Omelas.

    That's such a baller statement though. Guy is basically saying women will rule the world if not for the chains of the patriarchy to restrain them.

    Pretty sure the patriarchy and toxic masculinity is precisely why young men are having a loneliness epidemic and some are even doing mass murders, no thanks, dipshit.

    Egalitarianism is the future.

    In the USA women didn't have the right to vote until 1920, it was legal to discriminate against them in employment until 1964, that's what that guy wants us to return to.

    Because anything else will bring destruction in varying types and magnitudes, from "guess I didn't get to live a happy life" at 80+ to "these maniacs have devasted half the globe for hundreds of years" and more

    Oh no, we can't even exactly end life on the globe (but significantly fuck things up - yeah). And humanity going over this "man/woman is supposed to X/Y/Z" bullshit also means humanity being more mature. Question is, do we get there before some idiot does put everyone in the ground. Can't say I am sure we will

    The mental image in my head is asking a lady the time and she turns and looks at you, opens her mouth to speak and black smoke starts billowing out and she starts shooting sparks at you.

    It's easy to think that if half your population were eldritch horrors civilization would have a bit of trouble.

    I practice the most unsettling smile i can, and do it in really jerky movements. Wheeze while i do. Talk on both the inhale and exhale while it's maintained.

    Does that work? I've tried:

    • Pretending I'm hearing disabled(problematic, I know)
    • Telling them to eat shit and die
    • Speaking really fast and fiercely in a made up language
    • Keep asking "What was that?" until they stop trying

    By far the most successful was when walking home with a bag of meal worms(for my pet tarantula,) I dumped them on his lap and ran away.

    I always want to kick them in the balls and then smile genuinely, but only ever did that once.

    This man, and all men (yes, all) who hold this belief are actually weak men who are jealous and threatened by women. They need therapy to address the root cause of their toxic masculinity, not arbitrary power over half the population.

    Ya know, after thousands of years of civilizations really being quite shit and watching people throwing armies at each other because of childish grudges and the like, largely while under a heavily patriarchal rule…my guy what the fuck are you talking about?

    As a dude, and I do know that this is not a new take, we do not have a great track record of acting rationally while leading literally anything.

    Put them back in their place. Young men no longer want to contribute to society because it's all nonsense nowadays and would rather let it burn to the ground.
