I was not saying that. I was saying that just having a girl doesn't automatically put things on easy mode for her (or you as a parent) because girls have their own set of challenges they didn't face just a generation or two ago.

> becoming a play thing of dozens of men.

sounds like a whore to me.

As an asian man who has traveled to LATAM and the US, I am not surprised. American women are super entitled, hard to approach and borderline delusional when selecting men. It is never enough for them. They are hard to approach, judgy and sincerely just a pain in the ass. Women in LATAM for example are a thousand times sweeter, more feminine and approachable.

In the US everything is a product and therefore must be profited off, including appearance.

I have recently heard the opposite, at least as far as women goes. For a lot of women, especially mothers, being a single mother is a whole lot easier than being a married mother, since there is one less person in the house they have to take care of. A whole lot of men were not socialized to be actual contributing partners, which loops back around into the prime reason why a lot of men are having a hard time dating t…

Are you really believing that women are happier alone because men don't mop the floor? I married a single mother, I don't mop the floor or cook everyday. My duties are stuff she cannot do like taking care of the house or repairing cars/bike. I definitely do less than my wife for the household on a daily basis but I bring the money and a shelter. She is a 1000 times happier than being alone.

Straw man argument. If you and your wife feel like you're both contributing equally to your partnership, well, that's not what I'm talking about.

But there are absolutely cases out there where the women work as much as the men they're with, bring in as much money and shelter, and then are expected to do the housework, child-rearing, emotional labour, etc as well. I have heard from them and I have known them. And I absolutely believe them.

So they are complaining that their partner do less than them and want equality on household chores, whatever that means because we are not genetically equal and men will never feel the pain of labour.

That is very different than stating that "For a lot of women, especially mothers, being a single mother is a whole lot easier than being a married mother, since there is one less person in the house they have to take care of". Having seen all the work involved for a single mother, I really doubt that it is "a whole lot easier". It is a 24/7 job where you cannot stop a minute.
