I’m with you, it’s like that with my wife and I don’t care because of the things she does. I just don’t like the TV depiction that mom does everything and dad is basically one of the kids. There’s a few losers like that but it’s low-percentage, the libs try to put that face on everybody.
I wonder how much the endlessly repeated ads on TV affects self-image and creates expectations that become reality for the males.
We boomers probably had the subliminal message internalized that risking one’s life to protect women & children like Eliot Ness, the various Gary Cooper or John Wayne characters or real life military heroes was worthwhile and manly.
