@Dredcor Oh, I see, so no argument whatsoever? Nice.

 

[Dredcor]

@So-chan I mean, honestly, it would be wasted time finding studies and evidence to prove my point.
I don't feel I need to present any significant argument considering you have yet to do so yourself.
You would probably completely disregard it anyways.

 

[So-chan]

@Dredcor Do you seriously think that a woman can respect a man without a job?

 

[Dredcor]

@So-chan Yes, I know several men who are stay-at-home fathers and they are in loving relationships with their significant others.

 

[So-chan]

@Dredcor well, give it a year or a few and they will be divorced.

 

[Dredcor]

@So-chan Really? You wanna guess how long they've been married so far?

 

[Garadox]

@So-chan
Weird, my mother is the one with the job and my father has been the "househusband" for nearly 25 years and they haven't divorced yet.
Something must be terribly wrong with them...

@Dredcor You were the one who told me I was wrong when I said these were ancient ideas thay have been with us forever, and now that I've posted piles of famous historical works you are now asking me to prove that they have psychological relevance. I'm sorry, but all I can give you are the heaps of articles on the internet written by women who have divorced their house husbands who stated in those articles that they stopped being attracted to their house husbands really rather quickly, alongside some recent studies showing that men who stay at home are much more likely to divorce than men who are employed (in fact, it's more of a predictor than marital unhappiness, according to one study by the National Institutes of Health in 2011). You can argue that there might be many reasons for this, and that's a perfectly acceptable argument, but you cannoy deny that a potential explanation is that women simply aren't attracted to house husbands, and that this idea is as old as human civilization itself, and likely older. You could alsi consider the rather large and undeniable link between unemployment and male depression as well, that is also a possible explanation.

 

[So-chan]

@Dredcor @Garadox Ah yes, because an anecdote is proof of any kind, and just so it happens that you have the perfect anecdote to contradict my point, despite how unlikely such a relationship is. funny that.

@Oculunus Nice to know that "conservative views" are synonymous with "wrong" in your mind. It lets me know who I don't need to argue with.

 

[Garadox]

@So-chan mind telling me why it is so "unlikely" then?
Since I've expierenced it first hand from my own family, I see nothing wrong with it and dont understand why the fact of who brings money to the home define what they are

@Yourself Based and Hatapilled indeed

@gcodori Same sex couples are a vast minority of the population and typically don't have any children to take care of by virtue of being unable to produce them with their chosen partners. They are an atypical type of relationship which tends to be ignored by any discussion about gender roles, given they are already atypical in that they don't tend to want relationships with the opposite sex anyway. Single parents are also not in relationships and are therefore not relevant to the topic of conversation.

 

[Dredcor]

@So-chan "Anecdotal evidence!", cries the commenter who has given no evidence at all.

@AnonymousWeeaboo No, l said you weren't well-educated on the subject, which is a statement I still stand by.
And I would appreciate a link or name for any of these studies if you didn't mind.

@Dredcor the one I referenced was entitled "The National Survey of Families and Households" in 2011, and there is another onr that I know of from 2019 called "Life Course, Generstion and Gender," though I'm less knowledgeable about their pedigree given it's Norweigan.

Now, one could cite a study from Cambridge about how men are happier when sharing housework as a rebuttal, but there are also plenty of explanations for that (for instance, the common idea that wives nag a lot and that a happy wife makes for a happy life). I don't know that sharing housework has a higher correlation with divorce, anyway, just that unemployed men are divorced more often than employed men, so I wouldn't consider it a rebuttal as much as a point of interest that should be explored.
