When men don’t have to worry about their children, their health, their homes, or much of anything domestic at all, they are free to pursue their careers, their dreams, their own lives. They do so directly at the expense of women. Men are stealing women’s dreams to fuel their own. And that’s exactly what patriarchy has always been about.

In societies where all or most forms of official discrimination are banned, labor inequality is the ideal way to reinforce women’s servitude while pretending they have equal opportunities. “See? Nothing is stopping them but they’re struggling! Women are just naturally submissive/inferior/oriented toward having children” is the rallying cry of this discriminatory framework.

Meanwhile, men get to start miles ahead of women and pretend that's because women arbitrarily make up silly busywork for themselves.
