Men have historically tied their worth to earnings, but dual-income households are changing that. The speaker argues men need to find value in caregiving, compassion, and parenting instead of just paychecks.
I think for men you have to ascribe value in yourself that isn't tied to a dollar sign. So what do you bring to the table aside from just an income? Back in our grandparents parents days it made sense because you could survive off of a single income, right? And you know, your wife would be at home making you dinners. La da da da. Now more and more people have to be in dual income homes. And for some men, when they see women who are making a ton of money, like if they can't hold up their end of the bargain, they feel lesser than. But if a man is like, I am able to bring to the table love and compassion and care and I take care of the home, I have an incredible relationship with my children. I am able to support my wife in a way that, you know, if I was working full time, maybe I wouldn't. Or you know, even if you are working full time, like I still support my wife. I am the person who does all of the planning, who manages XYZ in the house. You have to find value in other places.
