"work...sucks"

It was a combination Hollyweird/leftist/radical feminist trope. The feminists made it seem like all men were having loads of fun going to work. The sad truth is while some people really do enjoy their work, most people have to do work they don't like much to make a living. The wonderful world of working for the corporation is only a fairly recent one. Before the 1950s, few men had those "great" corporate, office jobs the feminists pined for. Most men either worked in factories, farms, or had other dirty, nasty jobs. A lot that weren't dangerous or dirty were and are exceptionally nonfulfilling i.e. deadly dull. They worked them to support their families.

I don't begrudge women if they want to work hard jobs. But many are finding out that wonderful world of "men's" work is mostly dull, hard toil with only tiny bits of fun interspersed.
