You said:
> Once people get married and have kids, men take on additional work to pay for their kids.
You now claim:
> I also did not say that MEN do more paid work.

If she's going to nit-pick and take twisted interpretations, I can use the same style of nit-picking to create twisted interpretations.
Pointing out that such interpretations are twisted is redundant.
Yes, I know they're twisted. That was the point FFS.
I'll also note you don't seem to have a problem with her twisted interpretation of things. Which is the hypocrisy I was trying to point out.
I mean honestly... read this quote:
Once people get married and have kids, men take on additional work to pay for their kids. Women take on less work to take care of their kids.
and try to explain how any rational person would conclude I was somehow nefariously assuming that women were not doing paid work.
Well, yes. I did say "take care of their kids".
This is what you originally said:
Once people get married and have kids, men take on additional work to pay for their kids. Women take on less work to take care of their kids.
You did not say that women do less paid work. You said they take on less work. This framing implicitly suggests that women's work isn't really work. This seems to be a common societal default assumption and that deeply held belief helps drive the feminization of poverty because the mental model is that women's work isn't real work and doesn't really deserve compensation.
The rest of your comment is simply gratuitously ugly, so I am done here.
