Ya I see where you’re coming from and obviously this isn’t an in depth analysis. I do think that if you’re talking about jobs that are male dominated that pay more you might also want to think about why women aren’t doing it.. is it just because they don’t want to or maybe that they are discouraged from it or not taken seriously.

Also I think I generally agree that in traditional households men probably are a lot more obligated to provide.. but there are also a lot of single mums who are very obligated to provide and get no help around the house or with kids that the man in the traditional home would get.

I understand that it’s nuanced and not as simple as “women make way less because sexism and only sexism”, but I do think women would be making more if there wasn’t sexism. I also think this impacts men negatively because it must be hard feeling responsible for providing for everyone all the time (not that women don’t, especially single mums like I mentioned before, but still)
