The issue with this is it’s too simplistic.
What it’s actually saying is “it’s easy to not be misogynistic as long as you’re significantly better than all the women”.
It does not imply that you won’t be misogynistic as soon as you are threatened.
Ie when status quo is maintained (patriarchy is intact for you) it’s easy to support women.

Had co-workers say they would never marry someone making more than them. Shit is so weird.

jfc, being a home-husband is the dream, their fucking loss

Been there, done that, it sucked.
It was great at first! But after 6-months I was depressed. Guess I’m the sort that requires the structure a regular job provides. Kinda been the same for WFH. :(

I had depression before WFH, still have it but at least now I can work with my cat on my lap

I like WFH but I hated being a house-husband. WFH gives me something to do more than cleaning and cooking and childcare.

It shows how stupid and against your own best interests this kind of thinking can be.
I am the full time worker in my family, and happy to be the provider for them. However, I would be a stay at home dad / house-husband so damn fast if my wife got some random job mom making a lot more than me. I do have my priorities in order, after all.

I'd do housework and care for the kids in a heartbeat if my wife made enough.

My genuine theory is that many (if not most) people are emotionally stunted or emotionally immature. You don’t get this kind of mentality from someone who is balanced.
Now expand that to every facet of life and you get the world we live in.

Maybe because it is not in realm of possible instead of something they don’t want?

There are wealthy women out there, so it is entirely in the range of possibility. My mom’s first husband left her when she started making more money as a lawyer than him. It’s an ego thing.

I'd love to be a kept man. I'd wear skimpy outfits and work out every day and have all the chores done and a hot meal on the table when she gets home every day.
