Is the "profound" message here really just that as younger women enter the lives of their aging husbands and then fathers, they tolerate less and less of the historical sexist shittyness

I'm not sure how profound it's "supposed" to be, but I think that's basically the message, that's what I took from it at least.

Not inherent, no, but culturally ingrained crappy behaviours? Sure.

Expectations of women of men: basic human decency, don't rape

Expectations of men of women: be completely subservient in every way

This is a chat thread on a meme post, not an academic paper. "Gender roles exist" does not need a citation.

There's a long, documented, researched, history of men being raised to expect things from women. It's not just housework but all kinds of things are taken much more seriously when a woman does something "wrong" than when a man does. It takes a lot of serious introspection and effort to break out of that programming so it's not a surprise that the majority of men don't, or only do so partially. The default state is that this stuff is sort of "invisible" because it seems so normal to how things are. So no, this is a factual description of a "standard" behaviour for men that only some are able to avoid.

If you at all accept that there are harmful but culturally ingrained gender roles then this is a natural consequence of that for anyone who hasn't deeply and actively questioned them. Then as those roles are indeed slowly being broken down it stands to reason that each successive generation is less willing to put up with them - but if you still see them as normal it will come as a surprise.

If you can afford a £450k house you're not that poor.

Everest is a bit unique in that regard since, as the highest peak, by definition it can't have any higher peaks within any contour around it.
