Most couples with kids, they both work now.

40% of women now earn more than the typical median man, whereas only like one in 10 in the 70s.

And just become an expectation now that both men and women will work not in the same way.

I'm not saying that we've solved the problems, but it's a very different world now.

And what that means is that the question of what does it mean to be a father?

What does it mean to be?

It quotes breadwinner when you're not going to be the sole breadwinner anymore.

That's a question.

And it's the result of the greatest economic liberation in human history, which is the rise of women.

And I think you'd have to be very odd indeed not to celebrate that fact.

And pretty much everyone does really celebrate that fact.

except, again, some of these fringes online maybe.

So that's great.

But we shouldn't be naive and ignore the fact that that does raise questions.

I'm in my 50s, so even for my generation, it's like, okay, my dad was the breadwinner and had a great marriage and great relationship.

I'm not the sole breadwinner.

In fact, I was a stay-at-home dad for a while.

And so it's a very different kind of negotiation that we're having in our relationships now.

And if you just think it's naive to think that that isn't going to

cause some friction that isn't going to be difficult and then especially for the men with less economic power like I'm doing it from a position of great privilege economically speaking working class men when without men without college degrees their wages have been flat effectively for decades
