Hypocrisy "You're the man of the house now"

[SayanimCel]

This is a line trotted out all the time, both irl and in fiction. It's said to young males by older males upon the death of their father/older brother and refers to their new responsibilities for taking care of their sister(s) and mother.

Never in a million years would a 14-year-old girl be told upon the untimely death of her mother by an older woman that she is now responsible for taking care of her lazy, unemployed, middle-aged father and that if she doesn't she will be shamed

This is just another example of how feminists want to have their cake and eat it too. Getting all the advantages of being granted equal opportunities in the workforce, politics, culture, while still wanting men to be chivalrous for them

This hypocrisy began when women were granted suffrage in the late 19th/early 20th century, but weren't expected to serve in wars as a price for that right, as men were

In ethnic culture it does, when girl is around 12, 13 she is responsible for keeping the house clean and helping with younger siblings and cooking, if the mother dies then her responsibility grows.

This is the way things should be. Women are hard-wired to stay home and nurture. If they drift away from this nature, they will be lost, which is why depression among Western women is so rampant.

The low age isn't problematic either, as women mature at a faster rate than men. As Schopenhauer said, the nobler a thing is, the later and more slowly does it mature.

Even among ethnic girls this became rare to extinct, when my mom was young in the 70s it was the rule the girl who isnt married only can leave the house with her father or brother, when they would turn 17 or 18, boys with their parents would come to arrange marriage and parents of the girl would choose the candidates and parents were responsible for virginity of their daughter. Family honor and reputation would keep both bride and the groom in check because they didnt want to shame their families

Not in the modern day but maybe there were attitudes like that a couple centuries ago, I'm not sure.
