    except

    ...if TV is pushing women toward assuming the traditionally male "breadwinning" roles here in the Western World, it's fine by me. I'm perfectly happy to stay at home all day, surf the web, watch porn, get myself off, catch up on my reading, go to the gym in the middle of the day when you don't have to fight anyone for the best machines, etc.

    Except in reality women do not marry men who do this, or at least do not stay marrie to men like this.

    Welcome to a world where guys live alone or with their parents. Women, meanwhile, are working, living alone, but doing some able player on the side. If you are a lucky man, able to be a player, you can be part of this, but honest guys who want marriage or family and stable life need not apply unless they can still be more successful than their women. Nothing changes. Feminism only changed things for the worse for the vast majority of men while giving women new tasks to pay taxes for.
