And as the 21st century, right-wing provocateur named, "[[Eggman]]", put it, "Talk to any US woman and they'll tell you about men offering and buying them all sorts of things: vacations, houses, cars... When was the last time a woman offered to buy you a house or car, now that we have gender equality and all?"<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxuBxQxY-kM</ref> | And as the 21st century, right-wing provocateur named, "[[Eggman]]", put it, "Talk to any US woman and they'll tell you about men offering and buying them all sorts of things: vacations, houses, cars...

Most women say that, in theory, they would love to have a house-husband, this is an idea known in feminist theory as the 'structural power hypothesis'; the idea that gender roles are derived from early socialization and men's supposed cultural privilege and higher status in regards to women (i.e 'the patriachy') supposedly leads to men as a collective constructing rigid gender roles that are beneficial to their own sexual and economic interests.
