Huh I honestly don't have a model in my mind of what this traditional division of emotional labour is/was. So you think male feminists are starting to feel it's wrong for them to go to their partner for emotional support?
Broadly speaking I think the traditional division on a lot of things (including emotional labour) is "The man provides stability by absorbing risk, the woman provides day to day maintenance". Somewhat related.https://twitter.com/GeniesLoki/status/1298197746046971910 …
And yeah I think there's a significant problem where (on both sides really) feminists feel like a man getting emotional support from a female partner is somehow bad, but not vice versa. And yeah, there's 100% bad versions of this. Really bad. But some amount of it is vital.
Hmm I kinda see how you could take that away from the discourse around emotional labour. That's really sad if it's happening.
Oh yeah nice I remember that thread. I'm with you. I feel like until relationships get quite serious (like you are living your life as a unit rather than individually) there is not that much risk that the man needs to absorb on behalf of the couple
It's not really "on behalf of the couple" necessarily? Like "I've had a bad day and I want you to calmly listen to it while I tell you about it" is an example of absorbing risk by providing stability. (this one goes both ways but I think has different gendered forms)
