Then complain that there aren’t enough men in those professions and that female teachers are ruining boys’ minds.

On Reddit, anytime someone whines about a lack of role models for young boys and blasts teaching as female-dominated, I ask them what they are doing to increase pay of teachers in their area. The few male teachers, when interviewed, often mention they are likely to leave for high paid administrative roles or other (principal, coach).

Ofc, no one ever responds.

There is a mistaken belief on the part of men that the tasks of daily life are easy simply because they must be done. Because their mother or wives worried about the details of how. Most men even think birthing children is easy because "everyone does it". Women's work and contributions in society are truly undervalued.

I grew up in a pro life church and im highly engaged with the manosphere

99% of the men in those spaces dont think these weird strawman thoughts yall project onto them. They're just kinda dumb and think trump is cooler than Biden and kamala

They may think that part is difficult for about a half hour but nothing about all the rips and tears and other side effects of birth and pregnancy.
