I think it's misogyny because the two roles aren't equal. And my basis for thinking that the two roles aren't equal is that women seem to have happily taken over some of these more masculine roles while men rarely are willing to take over in the other direction. It seems pretty common to me that men that laud the roles that women once took as standard (like staying in the home and taking care of the kids) say that those are really important and great roles, but never appear to want to do them. Describing both roles doesn't necessitate a lack of misogyny if one roll is superior to the other. |
I don't think anyone said either role was superior to the other. |
I'm arguing you don't need to say it for it to be the case.
Here's a hypothetical. What if I said women's role is to lead and innovate and men's role was to do dishes and laundry? I haven't said that either is superior but I think we can figure it out without it being stated.
