Does anyone know of a similar infographic for the tax/economic burden that women place on men?
The only thing I’ve seen was of some graph based on a study that I believe was done in Australia. Nobody seems to have an interest in researching those figures . . .
I can't believe you guys. Asking about tax redistribution and the spending gap!
A graph from a related article: "The estimated value of market transfers and benefits by gender in Austria in 2015"
Review article: 'Since families share economic resources, does it matter if men earn more than women, or vice-versa?' [

The researchers estimated that women are recipients of over 5,000 euros per year of market transfers during their adult lives, predominantly from men who transfer about 10,000 euros per year to others in their household.
Man: you know about the supposed
pay gap, yeah, but what about the
spending gap?
Woman:
The spending gap is almost never raised in discussions about the pay gap, which is very curious. This is a completely one-sided conversation. Where does the money, that gets spent, originally come from?
Even when men get paid more, the majority of the money is given to, spent by, or indirectly used for women and other dependents of men.
Women drive consumption. For every one (1) dollar spent by or for men, there are three (3) to four (4) dollars spent by or for women [
source]. Given these clearly unequal numbers, it's in the best interest of 'boss ladies' to avoid the topic of the spending gap, because
it completely invalidates almost every single argument about the pay gap.
(This doesn't even touch on the many other flaws in the wage gap debate - to be discussed in other threads).
My Lived Experience
Guys, I feel it's the appropriate time to share how this inequality impacts me personally. This clip shows the monetary difference in the home work setup for me and my wife.
The numbers don't lie.
And last, Dear Kings, here is the takeaway from all this:
Know your worth. Never settle for less. You deserve a woman who treats you like a King. Do you know why? Because you are one.
