pyramid. I have never seen anybody anywhere state that a woman was a deadbeat for failing to provide for an adult able-bodied male. Have you???????? But, the view that men are deadbeats for failing to provide for women is EVERYWHERE! Again quoting Chris Rock, he talks about women can't go backwards economically (in boyfriends) and talks about the joy of women when they date for the first time a man with: his own car, his own apartment, and a man that travels and that a woman will refused to go back and date a man who lacks those things. For men it is "get rich or die trying" in which thanks to (a good chunk) of women seeing men as a means to an end, men have to take enormous risks to secure female companionship. The male role is a total craps shoot. Either rise to the top and receive the accolades of everybody and be a "good" man, or washout and become the invisible male dredges of society who receive no help. The bottom rung of the power pyramid is littered with millions of "washouts" at the male role (in much greater numbers than women). But, because we falsely believe that "all men" have agency and are never victims these men are rarely helped by the social safety net. If you read PIT (point in time) homelessness surveys in which cities and counties go around and count all the homeless, the chronic destitute homeless are usually 80% to 90%
