    Men choose to work full-time after becoming fathers coz they have agency. Women don't get choice/have agency. Hmmhttps://twitter.com/MissyDemeanour/status/871204092017729537 …

    Yes. They do. But they choose not to engage. That is not the fault of women. This is male privilege in action. They get the choice.

        Not quite - this is not universal. In countries where affordable childcare is more readily available, both women and men have this choice.

        I'm glad I'm in a profession that exposes me to the problems both sides face, being aware of gender issues that affect both men and women.

        I can't imagine being this ignorant, thinking that every problem one group of people face is their own fault.... because 'privilege'.

        A mate planned the opposite since his wife was the higher earner, then she pulled rank to stay with the kids & he had to work (w/ overtime).

        They get the choices, that's why you see so many stay at home dads, because full time work is the real joy of life​.

        It is exclusively the woman's choice (and agency) to have a child in the first place. @HPluckrose @SarahAB_UK

        Curious - do you think women have just inherently wanted to stay home 99% of the time and do 99% of domestic work? Is it in their genes?
