I come home, and my wife comes home from slaying dragons, too.

One of the nice things about young men is that they understand that it's going to be a two-career family, and they're more egalitarian than we were.

I have to help with the—it's not fair for me to not help with the dishes.

She's as tired as I am.

And her paycheck is as big as—you know, there was research—there's a direct correlation between how much housework a man does.

and how big his wife's paycheck is.

The bigger her paycheck, the more housework he does.

But that's not being whipped.

That's like, yeah, she's tired too, we both have to, we're a team.

So there is some of that with men.

On the other hand,

You know, this whipped up kind of hysteria about the crisis with men and boys are doing poorly in school and boys aren't doing this and boys... A lot of that is comparative.

Boys are doing worse than women.

Boys are not achieving the same grades as girls.

And I haven't looked at this, but I'm wondering if some of this hyped up, oh, what's going on with boys?

Boys aren't that much worse.

It's that girls and women are doing so much better.

And in comparison, it looks like we're standing still and being passed.

That is the feeling.

There is a feeling in all aspects of privilege, white privilege, male privilege.
