Fuck gender norms. Im a man who wants to be a stay at home dad who's more than comfortable with the fact that my wife makes more money than me.

I also take the "mild fever" as what its supposed to be. I dont take medicine because im a "tough guy," i dont take medicine because i let my body heat up to kill what ever is inside of me thats not supposed to be there. I let science run its course because thats gonna make me feel better sooner.

Had a fever this week. Sweated it out over night, slept all day the next day, fully functioning the day after that.

If I did that, I'd be "weak" because I didn't "tough it out" and work a 12 hour shift while I was contagious AF and make things worse for everyone else because "a real man doesn't take days off!"

...fuck that. I'm staying wrapped in my giant blanket until the fever breaks.

The millennial American dream is a partner who makes more money than you.
