@beecycling Because this seems to be the list for women. Guess the one for the men is shorter or some tasks come with extra plaudits for them.

@FrauSuutje Could be. Women get extra things, like keep the house clean and tidy. But men are struggling just as much to get the time, and the mental energy, to do so the things they should be able to do too.

@beecycling @FrauSuutje What are you talking about? Where's that woman keeping my house clean and tidy? Where's the one cooking my meal? I'm waiting! ⌛ 🥳

@FrauSuutje @beecycling because, of course, women are always multitasking and can do 10 things parallel.

@FrauSuutje @beecycling Women and progressive liberal men.

@vonxylofon @FrauSuutje This isn't really a men versus women thing. Men are being robbed of their time too, to make other people rich. This is an #antiwork thing. 😁 Or at least an anti full-time work thing. Give us UBI. Give us more part-time jobs. Lose the expectation that everyone should have a job, even as jobs continue to inexorably disappear. Give people the free time they need to thrive, not be mere drones.

@beecycling @FrauSuutje It's not a men vs women thing, it's the opposite. I'm with you on the social justice front, I'm just sad when the one group who decide they're not going to ride it out on the privilege wave get flak from literally all sides (the list above + they're men + they're not manly men) instead of them and women going together against a common enemy.
