First, that's a terrible world-view that relegates women to second class status.Secondly, even if that were an acceptable state of affairs, which it is not, families today usually can't survive on a single paycheck.
So, these people live in a fantasy realm and it's galling that anyone takes them seriously.

I saw someone here on Mastodon say that contractors to the U.S. government are barred from contributing to political campaigns. Is that true, and if so, wouldn't his support on X amount to campaign contributions in kind? -

"In the West, we have given hostile nations who fund these platforms steady access to the minds of our citizens. They’ve created foot soldiers of our young men, many radicalized away from decency and empathy and into the arms of 'influencers' like Andrew Tate, who was just arrested again for trafficking minors and sex with a minor."

/8Not Just A Platform: Are Tech Tycoons Facing the Music?
After a Brazilian court orders a suspension of X, and the arrest of Telegram's Pavel Durov, Heidi Siegmund Cuda reports on how global pressures on tech titans may signal a moment to press 'reset'.

"And with every new violent massacre at the hands of another digitally radicalized user, the tech tycoons scream ‘free speech’ as if that absolves them of any blood on their hands.
But with the arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov in Paris last Saturday the cult of the genius tech bro may be losing some of its absolute power."

@wdlindsy Sounds like an invitation for somebody to punch him in the face, and we'll see how 'critically' he thinks.

@wdlindsy Hey, remember when Musk was going to sqaure off against Zuck in a cage fight? Whatever happened to that?

@faduda I reckon Musk has been too busy doing alpha-male stuff like fathering more children to populate the world with superhuman demigods like himself.

@bytebro Indeed. And we'll see how much that much-vaunted "rationality" amounts to.

@AndyDeardentsa Thank you. Yes, I had seen that good article yesterday, and you're exactly right, it's a good explanation of this point. I need to add a link to it in this thread.

@davidpmaurer It's funny that the alpha fantasy so often turns out to live in a plain old dad-bod body, isn't it?

@bruce Maybe that person was pointing to this:
"Federal government contractors are prohibited from making contributions or expenditures, or promising to make any such contribution or expenditure, to any political party, committee, or candidate for federal office, or to any person for any political purpose or use."

@bruce I very much agree. And the point really is to return women to a situation in which their only option is to remain at home and have children.
