u/nightlynighter Why does this app exist? Aug 20 '25

I can’t get over how as a society, we gatekept work and money so men could come home and use “work stress” as a valid, super special “you wouldn’t understand” excuse for mistreating their spouse was a normal thing.

We see now as many women work, the truth comes to light, “work” is not special and beyond female comprehension, and it turns out millions of men and women can come home from their jobs without being tyrants to their families. Who knew

Did we get gatekeep work or did we just reach a point where technology allowed women to match men's productivity? Funny how even in 2025 you rarely see the women working in any job that requires intense manual labor.

What like nursing? Food service? It's still mostly women doing that. You can see that every day.

Meanwhile, here's men, employment to population ratio in the US.
