and it never changes...that is what annoys me the most. Everyone knows that married men live longer than married women. Gee, what a surprise. But why?

The real issue for me it the BS stereotypes from the well paid Madison Ave marketing companies over the last 100 years. They have generated billions in advertising revenue since advertising began in the US. The stereotypes are very harmful to women and beneficial to the men...the men are the ones raking in the advertising dollars hand over fist. They control all the BS now via social media.

When I see an advertisement on TV right now I see that men are being wonderful and caring parents and husbands. Oh goodie!

I guess changing a dirty diaper once a day, cooking twice a week, cleaning whenever they feel like it, helping with the kids occasionally, etc is supposed to be an enormous benefit to the family as a whole, even when both parents work full time. Fuck that shit!!!!! Women STILL do the majority of everything I listed and by huge amounts. But, you have to spoon feed men into taking any real, meaningful responsibility for anything in 2024. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Damn, men do not even take care of their own physical health and women have to nag them to call a doctor for 6 months until they may actually do it for themselves. Women have been the responsible gender since humans stood upright and they have been screwed by males who have testosterone poisoning and big muscles in every way, shape and form. It will NEVER change. NEVER!



This video is the same old same old...men are attracted to women that they are think are visually attractive, women are attracted to men who they find as financially well off.
