SwappawS

My wife served me divorce after we return from a family vacation.

Having read more than a few like this, itโ€™s interesting that if you swapped the genders the top-voted reactions would be much different.

This one: Wife abandons family. Man presumed to be at fault, wife given every excuse/justification with no evidence. (Maybe he is at fault, but this is not about blame.)

Gender swap: Husband abandons family. Man would still be presumed to be at fault, and a monster.

This is what I mean that the cultural conversation is largely controlled by women now. Obviously, I do not mean that women hold all positions of power. Thatโ€™s clearly untrue. However, this means that now womenโ€™s narratives and priorities are the dominant ones in the cultural norm-setting sense.

Which is also obviously the case.
