Well a good example of here of the sheer mean spiritedness and self absorbed modern feminism modern men are familiar with. In another era wives may well take a lead in social networks given that “their man” had limited opportunities due to work commitments. Even when working “family friendly” hours for women meant practically it is easier to spend sorting social events and even in work as we know women tend to be in overwhelmingly female occupations much more local to their home. Is it really such a “burden” for the sex that delights in talking and has more spare time as the kids grow, to arrange social stuff? And if she sees her man “fall off a cliff” at retirement, human to want to help? No it seems the sex that spends far more time working to make the money that generally is 76% of the income that supports them both, and which 80% she spends(again because she gets to the shops etc.) should suck it up and not get any help at all After all they are exhorted to be supportive, listen, help and fund their spouse’s every thing because they are “amazing” but also emotionally exhausted and anxious. But never be helped by the person who is supposed to love them?

Can’t see men thinking much of such a deal.
