[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMO It’s because people are specifically socialized *out of* traditional relationships and buy into utopic visions of egalitarianism. Then real life hits and nature reveals herself to be uncompromising, thus the gender roles revert to the old fashioned no-fun way that things have been for thousands of years.

But not really, because in many cases the women actually meant it and the men don't want to support them, so they're still working. [/quote]
(Save for the wealthy) Women have always worked, just not outside of the household. Post-industrialization made women’s labor inside the home of no value and we’ve spent about 150 years reeling from that as a society. I think the remote revolution is a step in the right direction to women’s benefit in bringing equilibrium back.[/quote]

Intensive parenting, including a longer childhood with limited extended family support, plus intensive work, has not been anyone's norm. Women really are doing something different and adapting faster than their partners. [/quote]
