Quote:All of this makes the fact that more conservative men chose “having children” as personally definitional to success much more telling. For women regardless of politics, and for liberal men, it seems that children and marriage may be components of a good life, but they aren’t considered some sort of accomplishment. For conservative men, they are. Perhaps the big divide here isn’t about what one wants one’s family to look like, but in how one conceives of parenthood in the first place. For Trump-voting men, having kids may be a kind of flex, a status symbol, a feather in their cap—and, conveniently, something for which women actually take on the lion’s share of the labor.

I remember someone once saying that men see women and children as nothing but accessories and I feel that's very apt.

Boxes to tick off and show off. Got the wife, got the kids, got the house, got the truck, got the boat, etc.
