[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the standards for men fell after they lost the expectation of being the breadwinner and this idea of a man-child took off. Now there is absolutely no point to dating a man who isn’t educated in a solid career with the expectation of them doing half of the housework. Our Dads expected to do 100% of the out of home work in many cases (or at least be able to support a family) but todays man children want to have it all— a wife who suppers their  financial lifestyle AND someone who bears the brunt of the domestic labor. For most women of quality that’s a hard nope.[/quote]

A lot of people are ok with the man not doing half the housework if they are making more than them and working longer hours. That's still not an issue as long as you are bringing home money and the woman isn't overworked. Of course being a family man never goes out of style but until men see unpaid work and mental load work as actual work I don't think they are going to be able to understand how to even out the work in a family.[/quote]

Some are. And those who aren’t don’t have to settle. That’s basically the difference— in the past a woman’s choices were marriage or the authority of her father. Now she’s perfectly entitled to make her own money, have children on her own, and have a different man every night for sex **if that’s what she wants**. That means the number of men who want a wife to do home AND work is going to exceed the number of women willing to be both housewives AND work outside the home.  It looks like the standard are higher because women have the choice to opt out,  but really (IMO) the standards for men have just fallen. [/quote]
