Saying that nowadays the real gold diggers are men that expect women to do the majority of childcare/household things, plus expecting them to work and bring in a good wage. I’m seeing more and more of this with friends

Where have all the men gone and are these the equivalent of modern day gold diggers

Yanbu i commented on a post the other day saying that it used to be a matter of principle that a man would be a provider and got told i must be about 100 years old.

Cocklodgers. Lazy fuckers. They have always existed, it's not new.

It's a regular theme on MN where women are the main breadwinner whilst carrying the full mental load, childcare drops and collections, house work, vooking and laundry.

Total workhorses.
Paying and doing it all.
Total madness.

Labour diggers is the term I've heard

Agree. There need to be a new name for them though. Will have a think!

I think people are a bit confused at women's labour being utilised by men for their own gains, being a new concept! It's not new, capitalism literally depended on women holding up the home. Albeit the expectations have now increased for women.
