> There’s a number of male coded sins out there (wrath, lust) but greed has always seemed like a pretty universal affliction.

Isn't it usually associated with the business sphere rather than the personal sphere?

I don't think equal labor force participation has been a thing for that meant decades.

No, not even a little bit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fisherman_and_His_Wife

> Synopsis

> A poor fisherman lives with his wife in a hovel by the sea. One day the fisherman catches a fish who claims to be able to grant wishes and begs to be set free. The fisherman kindly releases it.

> When his wife hears the story, she says he ought to have had the fish grant him a wish. She insists that he go back and ask the [fish] to grant her wish for a nicer house.

> The fisherman reluctantly returns to the shore but is uneasy when he finds that the sea seems to become turbid, as it was so clear before. He makes up a rhyme to summon the [fish], and it grants the wife's wish.

> The fisherman is pleased with his new wealth, but the wife is not and demands more, and demands that her husband go back and wish for a palace. Reluctantly, he does and gets his wish.

> But again and again, his wife sends him back to ask for more and more; she then asks for him to be made King, then to be made Emperor, then to be made Pope. Each time, the fisherman knows this is wrong but there is no reasoning with his wife.

No way mom's not been out for their own kids all these centuries; not that there's anything wrong with that but they exist and it's just emotional propaganda social moat stuff to compare/contrast rhetoric with effort, not ignore the eyes for rhetoric

Like it seems feminism so far hasn't really resulted in anything new from the woman's context; they all just got into lawyer, judge, accountant, plumber, engineer, mechanic jobs too.

Celebrating the whole cultural history of how women just signed right up for the violence is not a flex

The PE firms that have taken over much of the funeral industry are run by almost exclusively old white guys in suits.
