Female Contempt for an Obvious Outcome of Feminism: Househusbands
A world where young women make more money than young men would seem to necessitate an increase in house-husbands. The male liberation movement, a subset of male feminist MRAs in the 60s wanted a dramatic increase in househusbands. However even in the most feminist countries, women will still expect the man to work or else a breakup.
Even in a country where feminism is institutional and mainstream, where equal-pay laws are in place, and where women have more total personal wealth than men, "the key factor in the decision to divorce is whether Hubby (note, not the wife) has a job. If he doesn’t, even if his job loss is involuntary, his odds of being ditched by his wife skyrocket"[5]
Early 20th century, anti-feminist and Marxist Belfort Bax's quote still remains true, "Among all the women’s rights advocates I am not aware of one who, in her zeal for equality between the sexes, has ever suggested abolishing the right of maintenance of the wife by the husband."[6]
And as the 21st century, right-wing provocateur named, "Eggman", put it, "Talk to any US woman and they'll tell you about men offering and buying them all sorts of things: vacations, houses, cars... When was the last time a woman offered to buy you a house or car, now that we have gender equality and all?"[7]
When women attain higher wealth and social status, these gender roles are not obviated, but instead reinforced.[8] [9] [10]
A choice quote from the works previously referenced, The Adapted Mind: Evolutionary Psychology and the Generation of Culture:
Fifteen feminists leaders, when asked what traits they sought in a man, regularly used words which connote high status: "very rich" or "brilliant" or "genius". Large tips, lavish dinners, stunning suits, and so forth were regularly referred to. In short these (feminist) women wanted superpowerful men.
It seems that women therefore, naturally recoil at the idea of not using a man to financially provide for her, calling men who don't live up to masculine gender roles as, "manchildren", no matter how generous the welfare state she is in or how much money she makes.
