This is where the argument falls apart: the dominant narrative on Twitter for years has been that grabbing coffee is insufficient and that men need to make an extra effort to come up with creative dates.
If we want to get to know each other, getting coffee or drinks would be it

Kinda disingenuous. Men do quite enjoy the company of women. Just not constantly having to pay for that company which whyvit's important to date women who actually like you back and dont mind footing the bill as well Lol

A man will meet a woman - he is taller than her, older than her, richer than her (usually far richer), he takes her outta debt, upgrades her entire life, she's is respected more in society because of her association with him, he gets the best lifestyle.... But it is the man who is lucky to have her.
The lot of you should be in a mad-house.

So if we're going to dinner because you need to see a level of investment that I don't need, who's the date for?

This is a MAJOR problem with Stay at Home Moms (SAHM) , and I'm sorry ladies but the problem is very likely YOU.
First off, it goes without saying that childbirth and breastfeeding is an incredible strain on the mother and women are amazing for doing it.
But, I'm sorry, NO childcare is not an equal trade for your husbands job.
I see this all the time with friends and other dads online.
The mom equates raising the kid with the man's job, and then believes the rest of the duties should be split.
Ur completely delusional.
Childcare is valued at $2000-$2500/mo. It's a minimum wage job.
A house cleaner is valued at $2800/mo. It's also around a minimum wage job.
So combine them both together and the value the SAHM is contributing to the household is around $60k/yr.
Guess what? If you are a SAHM, your husband is likely pulling in $150k/yr+.
So the market is saying your husbands work (after taxes) is TWICE as valuable as you raising the kid and doing ALL the house chores.
It's priceless that you get to raise your kid and give them a ton of attention that they wouldn't get at daycare.
It's priceless that you're husband makes enough that it's even possible for you to be a SAHM.
Meanwhile, I see dad's contributing more than ever.
I personally wake up, make the kids breakfast, take them to school, do a full-time job, and then try to help out around the house some when I get home. I take the kids to dance and sports after work.
And I know for many other dad's with SAHM, they are doing this too.
And it's so sad the amount of times I hear SAHM leave the laundry, the dishes, all the house chores to be done after the husband gets home from work.
Because "childcare is a full-time job" and the rest should be 50/50. No ladies, go get a $150k/yr+ job, put your kid in daycare, and then the rest can be 50/50.
This woman's example is extreme, at least how she's framing it, but sorry ladies, the problem is indeed you in about 80% of these situations.
For me, having a baby was the beginning of the end of my marriage. My ex and I had set things up to be fairly trad. He made the money, and I planned to stay home with the children. I didn't, however, realize that his vision of that was actual-zero childcare, to the best of his ability. He spent most weekends watching TV in another room with the door closed, while I ran around to parks and playgrounds, etc. Eventually we had no shared life.
@jmrphy for @unherd recommends this. I am not so sure.
Nor am I totally unsure. I was a stay-at-home-mom, but also had fairly feminist expectations, and I thought that my ex *should* have walked in the door from work and started helping me make toddler-dinner. After all, we'd both worked all day, and his work was a lot more fun. More than that, I wanted someone to share the experience with ... him.
We also did have other, deeper problems. But mainly what happened is that I started resenting him and stopped caring about his wants and needs in the relationship (because he was a lazy-ass bum sitting there waiting for his adult-dinner, too). And I devoted my considerable powers to trying to force him to participate, which he did, but so resentfully in his own part that it just wasn't worth it. eventually I started arranging things to discourage his participation. I can think of summer mornings where I was scuttling around trying to get me and the kids out of the house before he woke up....
Also I tend to forget that for the first few years, I tried to treat him like the luxury-king-of-finance that he wanted to be, and *tried* to do it all myself without inconveniencing him, and I just wasn't able to pull that off, logistically or emotionally.
I think we were probably just doomed for other reasons, but, with great hindsight, my resentment and feminism didn't help us. And his view of what a father was supposed to do was pretty impoverished. It's possible that if both of us had moved a few clicks towards the other's position, we could have made it. Or if we'd even just done the things we were already doing without the resentment, perhaps we could have grown together into the job.

Something discussed with @patstedman’s podcast was how reality for Gen Z is only digital, and what happens in real life is fake.
So much so they don’t know how to handle feedback, criticism, and are weak af as a result.
Void, vapid and superficial…
Here women get to see only the most attractive guys curated by the TikTok algo so you get this skewed view of what is out there, and then you go into the “real”market and “oh shock” it is different.
Thus she confuses the Dow Jones for the Russell 3000.

Between this and the chinese getting beat up by a white girl inHS and a black girl beat up the white bully in retaliation, this shows that most asians are in fact pussies to the white power structure and cower to white aggression to not dismantle their “model minority” status

Half of the response to the "dates are for women" discourse has been why don't men just plan dates with activities that they like. But it's still on the man to provide the experience. This is how women feel about having to plan events for their own friends.
Scarlett Johansson says some studio movie offers she's gotten have been so bad that she's had no choice but to respond: "It seems irresponsible to make this."
“Am I making something that other people want to see? Is there an audience for this movie? I’m not making a movie just for me. “Sometimes I get studio projects that I have to say, ‘I don’t think you should make this. I don’t know who you’re making this for. It seems irresponsible to make this.’” (via Los Angeles Times)
