This is why, after years of living in leftist and activist communities, I realized the obsessive quest for equality was a fool's endeavor. Not only is it impossible to satisfy, it seeks to eliminate any genuine sense of joy and meaning that might produce benefit for one over another. And in trying to submit every experience in life to its metric, it demands we compare apples to oranges, thereby driving the quantification of everything (i.e., the concept of "emotional labor").

The best we can do is to alleviate the effects of inequality and keep the balance from becoming too lopsided. But some leftists are so driven by their resentments that they fail to appreciate life.

Lol at how you incorporated that cuckolding comment so elegantly and seamlessly into your thinkpiece. 😂

From what I have observed in life, the "dismantle the nuclear family" drivel is always pushed first and foremost by predators, and in general by people who were not loved by their parents. It's glaringly obvious. I could make fun of it but it's terribly sad.
