  • Solved by money, there’s nearly no sickness in the world that you can’t get treated effectively if you pay enough for the privelege.

    Wrong

    The rich don’t love anyone

    Wrong

    We’re making great strides on this in the medical sector, also solved by money. We don’t have this one truly “solved” yet but I expect a workable solution within 100 years.

    Pure fantasy

    Not if you upload yourself to Xitter and get turned into a chatbot!

    Fair enough

    There’s a long, documented, researched, history of men being raised to expect things from women. It’s not just housework but all kinds of things are taken much more seriously when a woman does something “wrong” than when a man does. It takes a lot of serious introspection and effort to break out of that programming so it’s not a surprise that the majority of men don’t, or only do so partially. The default state is that this stuff is sort of “invisible” because it seems so normal to how things are. So no, this is a factual description of a “standard” behaviour for men that only some are able to avoid.

    If you at all accept that there are harmful but culturally ingrained gender roles then this is a natural consequence of that for anyone who hasn’t deeply and actively questioned them. Then as those roles are indeed slowly being broken down it stands to reason that each successive generation is less willing to put up with them - but if you still see them as normal it will come as a surprise.
