I needed that read, thanks. The  sociological reality out there is complex, and no one view can capture it. I work in coffee shops often and all day see young wives with beautiful children or in coffee klatches in yoga togs (nice clothes, nice cars). Then I go into work base where we have gender parity and women in leadership and equal pay for equal work. I know so many women with fine educations and careers who choose to spend some or all their time with children at some point. The men who then pay the bills for them are present, caring fellows, good dads. These are common scenarios at the middle and upper-income levels. Sorry, they just are.  NOT the case at lower income-levels, at all, of course. And no, women are not equal in all things across the board in Canada. And a lot of that violence against men is because women don't dare stay out dark places at night, they know better. Still, women have it better than it gets painted out.  M.W. is 3/4 correct here.
