[quote=Anonymous]I had this discussion with a 50 something white male recently.

He explained it like this…

He was raised by a dad who literally went to work and came home and put food on the table and provided a house and did nothing else. That was his role model. They went hunting and fishing and camping, but it was more that he was tagging along with his dad not it was a bonding moment.

His dad was raised by somebody who could hardly provide home or put food on the table.

Now he is trying to be everything expected of a dad.. work, put food on the table, cook, clean, care for the kids, talk about his feelings,… But he never had a role model for this. He also feels like he’s failing half the time. You could say women are asked to do more and he admits they are but in reality if his wife got fired or quit her job, she has a huge safety net in him but it’s not true the other way around.

Obviously, the world has given white males a cheat code to be successful, And still it’s hard.

And quite frankly, they don’t wanna share the cheat code with everybody else. Because they fear downward mobility for their kids.
