Agreed. real satanic-panic vibes here.

I can’t be the only one who grew up seeing how little is expected of affluent men.

The ideal is someone “brilliant” who gets others to do what’s expected of him. And then you can afford to be divorced and retain respect.

I think you're making an attribution error by suggesting they are able to get others to do anything, that would imply that the person first realized that something needed to get done beyond establishing their brilliance.

At this point I think my sons may accomplish more in life if they remain unemployed as adults.
