To be fair, "people paying you to do things they don't want to do" describes a fucking huge chunk of jobs.
The real funny part is them getting bent out of shape about it, because their jobs are useless in addition to the other issues. Also, I think it just comes from a basic lack of understanding of how the world works, and a desire to feel more important than they are.
I know my job is being paid to do stuff so other people don't have to. It's still real work, and I don't feel bad about it.
Imagine having an existential crisis because a chatbot told you you're not the protagonist.
This is the lie that most women swallow wholesale to abandon being mothers though. They are sold the emotional appeal of “girlboss” where they are “making a difference” and “changing the world”. This is why so many suffer from main character syndrome and have a savior complex while telling themselves their hedonism is their reward for “making the world a better place”.
Meanwhile the ones that stay home to raise their kids are genuinely making a difference.
I really wish we could get society to stop lying to women about absolutely everything.
to be honest, it doesn't take much.
half of all women want to be a SAHM before having a baby. almost all the rest want to be a SAHM, quit work indefinitely, as soon as they have that first baby. the ones who genuinely want to keep working are <5% of the population. the problem is doubling the labor supply crashed a lot of careers, which forces both parents to work in most cases just to make ends meet.
but so if the guy can cover it, she'll happily quit indefinitely.
Kind of related, and not saying you're implying otherwise, but another huge problem is even among women who want to be SAHM, what percentage of those are eager to have 3+ kids?
One of the more effective ways out of our current predicaments are for solid families and good parents to start having more kids. At bare minimum, that means 3+. The percentage of women, even the "conservative" ones, who are chomping at the bit to have that many kids is very low.
They just want to have one or two kids, "hold serve" in their minds, and be glorified for it forever as if they've fulfilled their sacred duty to society as a woman.
