5. That's part of it, but there are other parts too.

Lots of women comment on Threads about how condescending or inconsiderate men are to them, apparently seeing them as second class citizens who have to put up with it, rather than equals worthy of good treatment. Others talk about how men have substance problems or are looking for mommies to take care of them.

Here is a passage from the WSJ article that gets close to it:

“ The latest presidential election and the first months of the Trump administration have intensified this ideological rift.

Rachael Gosetti, a 33-year-old real-estate agent in Savannah, Ga., said she broke up with her boyfriend, with whom she shares a 5-year-old son, over a year ago because she was tired of doing most of the child care, cooking and scheduling while also earning almost double her boyfriend’s salary. She has yet to date anyone else in part because she worries about living in a red state with a six-week abortion ban. “I have a child that I can’t leave behind to drive to Virginia if I had a pregnancy scare, and I definitely can’t afford another child as a single mom,” she said.”
