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?

Otoh incredible financial leverage now available in basic behaviors like shopping. The NYT just did a thing on how perverse incentives in healthcare are leading women doctors to gravitate to family strengthening practices like internal medicine and geriatrics etc.

This trend is much more obvious to men than to women, thanks to higher human sensitivity to losses over gains. Understandably, given they are starting from a much lower base of power, gains seem trivial and the absolute gap in agency and power still seems insurmountable.

Don’t expect all guys to retreat sullenly to video games, flirt with radicalization and mass shooting fantasies, or be able to participate in the last great patriarchal show: securitization and financialization of everything. The majority will attempt entryism by masculinization.

Yes if it isn’t naturally open to you and you have to get past some barriers to acquire that life and possibly displace a woman already in that specific role
