Why don't men want to oppress women anymore?

from Honey Badger Radio · host Honey Badger Brigade

"Marx says work is the site of oppression, and radical feminists say the person who doesn't work but gains the benefit of the wage earner is the one who's oppressed. So is earning a wage oppression, or is not earning a wage oppression?" "You're dealing with an economy that has gone from being productive and selling things to selling Xerox copies of things — which doesn't require men." "Everyone goes to college because it's time to go to college. Don't do that." Brian and Alison on why men are leaving the workforce, and on a paper that measures it without ever asking the obvious question. The finding they land on: boys opt out by watching men as a class rather than their own fathers, the effect survives moving across state lines, and adult exposure does nothing at all — coefficients indistinguishable from zero. Alison's argument is that nobody studying this will look at the one variable that would explain it, which is men being recast from providers into oppressors.
