What does equal pay for equal work even mean in gig-work/free agency? What does maternity leave mean under the API where you’re flex-timing and gambling with surge pricing algorithms anyway?

I was thinking recently of Virginia Woolf’s line that to write “a woman must have money and a room of her own”. Increasingly true for men. The era of big-dick-energy male novelists writing 800 page tomes in nice wood-paneled studies while being waited on by women is over.

There’s also an asymmetry emerging. Trad masculinity strikes me as 90% silly reactionary larping (think EDC and tacticool subcultures, MRA/MGTOW, wilderness survivslism etc). But trad femininity is not trad at all, but a refactored old stock that aligns with ascendant forces.

If gendered subcultures were stocks, I would: 1. Short trad masculinity (it will self-destruct) 2. Go long trad femininity 3. Stay away from woke stocks like LGBTQ beyond a de minimis longshot exposure (volatile/temperamental like crypto) 4. Unwind industrial role bets slowly

I wish there was a live comments section next to this thread; i'm so curious to hear what other people think about this. I don't personally know what I think either, doesn't seem obviously correct or not-correct

lot of value in here although I think any analysis is incomplete w/o reckoning with modern trad thinking on masculinity, see
@LandsharkRides coterie for example
