Not many men will come right out and say this stuff. If they cut a little to close, real world consequences become an option.
Like, if somebody were to say “Women blah blah, or something” and you were to look at them and say “What women? My wife? Neices? Like, who are you talking about?”
The tone would change really quickly and there would be some explaining to do.
Can you give an example of this?
Ehh, this sounds like saying white people should get credit for ending slavery.
Depends what you count as work. This article calculates a stay-at-home parent as worth 180k annually.
My wife makes more than me. It’s pretty great. We keep our finances separate, split the bills, and don’t stress beyond that.
I am not very convinced by articles like this.
There are plenty of people that go to a job that pays a third of that proposed salary, and also have to pay part (sometimes a significant amount) of that salary for daycare for their kids.
Jobs like this are basically all salary, not hourly.
It would be really weird to hire every role individually for these jobs. You’d find a live in nanny or something that maybe wasn’t an expert at any of them, but adequate at all.
Just those two weird assumptions if ignored (as they should be) make the article pretty silly.
I am not saying we shouldn’t value the role of homemaker in the least bit. It is an important role, and should be respected. Just that we should approach questions like “how much would this role cost someone if they outsourced it?” in a way like an actual human / family would. They wouldn’t pay hourly for a live in nanny unless the hourly rate was absurdly low, and they wouldn’t hire ten specialists instead of one generalist.
The amount of context you’re missing here is staggering. I’m not about to bring slavery and suffrage into this conversation though, so I’m going to leave it.
I am a mainsplainer fo shizzle.
I think most men do, but that only happens in civilized society. When society breaks down, it all falls apart.
Very slowly - especially in the court system.
When we met - my wife had more financial resources and money than me.
That quickly changed and now is a huge disparity between us in that realm.
I pay everything and let her bank anything she earns to do with as she pleases (she is a saver). She obviously has access to any of my (our) money. I am the spender. She keeps me honest or tries to. We are both involved in the finances, but she takes the lead in the personal finances.
I am just lucky all guns pretty much look the same to her. 
Cars not so much. They get me in trouble.
I’m a very frugal person, but if I ever have “fuck you” money, I’d definitely want a collection of historically significant firearms, especially Russian/soviet and German ones
Men can do those things. Men do, do those things. However, women are not capable of doing many jobs that men do. Women are crying about equality in the workplace but that equality doesn’t extend to the dangerous and dirty jobs that men are overrepresented in.
I did say GO to work.
And there are plenty of stay at home single mothers who do almost nothing in the home. And the government pays them for their poor work.
True. People only ended slavery where white people owned slaves; it still exists everywhere else.
I am a lover of older Russian / Soviet / Commie Bloc weapons, new ones too.
I only really like more modern age German weapons. I have a few older ones, but they are meh to me.
I don’t plan on doing much shooting. I’m just a history buff so the actual quality of the gun doesn’t matter so much. In terms of usability, Mosin 91 was shite, but soviet snipers managed to pick off quite a few Nazis with them
H&k is amazing. My ex has a p10 and it was so fun to shoot. The only issue is that my hands are too small
If I were to collect, I’d want ww1 and ww2 era Lugers, a k98k and a mg-42 (aka “hitler’s zipper”)
An old buddy of mine has an old Mosin-Nagant that he really likes. He does a lot of precision/long range shooting, not sure if he uses that for it though. I think he said its good for about 300 meters or so.
The problem is that this is more of a back patting number than a real demonstration of value. Imagine assigning a dollar amount to every single routine action we do in life. I mean how much is wiping my own ass worth? Or setting an alarm vs scheduling a wake up call from a paid employee?
It doesn’t matter because I’m not bringing any of it to market in exchange for money. While I’m sure a stay at home mom likes to imagine she’s at least worth line cook wages while making dinner, and probably imagines herself as a Gordon Ramsay of sorts, she’s not. She’s cooking dinner for her family and it’s unlikely the alternative would be hiring a personal chef, so she’s not actually saving money either. She’s just the cook because she has the most availability. There is value in that, but it’s not monetary.
I really enjoy the Mosins. My favorite I have is a 1946 M44 Mosin Carbine.
They are definitely amazing. Their engineering and quality is second to none. The roller blowback design is an absolute treat to shoot. I have multiple MP5’s (2 full auto packs legal) and I am working on getting a MP7 currently. I have a couple HK UMPs too.
I have various HK handguns. My favorite being the HK45 and the P30L.
Their AR’s are nothing to sneeze at either. I have the 416 and MR762 in both configs. All HK stuff is pricey, but when you put it in your hands you can see why.
Do you legitimately believe slavery would’ve ended without white people allowing it to?
My uncle has a Mosin Nagant - nothing special, it was like $75. Russia made millions of them so they’re cheap.
I never shot it, but just in shouldering it, the iron sights lined up perfectly without any adjustments needing to be made. I never wanted to buy one until then.
It didn’t matter where I aimed it, the sights always were in perfect alignment.
Especially with rifles, I appreciate simplicity.
And if my old buddy likes them, they gotta be good.
I haven’t fired a rifle in ages though. Just my kids pellet gun. Critters Beware! 
Technically, isn’t that exactly what happened in America. That said, it was the white people who allowed slavery to start in the beginnings of America. But it wasn’t as if America “discovered” slavery. It had been going on for thousands of years worldwide.
