Hate the gender roles
I want to marry a woman who earn more than me.
I believe I have good reason for this. I came from a broke family. I worked hard, studied hard through the biggest lie of the system called meritocracy. Guess what, I have nothing to show for it after all that effort.
My parents’ education only PSLE, how they know what JC and uni is like. No guidance. Can’t afford tuition either. Mug my ass off also cannot do well.
Now I’m in an average uni course with not high earning power. So I rather have a woman who is qualified enough and can be the main breadwinner, while I have more of a family man role.
After our children are born, I want to take care of them when they are young. I will still work, but scale back to part-time probably.
I will take care of the kids, make sure they grow up healthy, bring them for their health checkups. I know this is not an easy job. Some will think it’s sai kang but I don’t mind it.
I will guide them through the education system that was stacked against me. I’ll combine my personal experience and my wife’s earning power. Our kids will succeed. Don’t say I no ambition ah, my ambition is for our kids to be successful.
I hate being born male. It’s as though there’s a mismatch between my assigned gender and my personality. As you can see, a lot of things I listed would be so much more acceptable if I was a woman.
Everything I said makes logical sense until we bring in traditional gender roles which don’t even have biological basis.
Why should men earn more than women in white collar jobs when both genders have no difference in cognitive ability?
And most of our ladies still believe in this. Even if I was a handsome yandao, how many of them are willing to accept me and my unconventional idea of family?
I lost 2 dice rolls, being born poor family and wrong gender. Why must I be male…
