This is an interesting exploration, but probably not framed right for LessWrong, and it’s missing a LOT of awareness of variance across individuals and cultures. Because it’s written as if it were one thing with an actual truth behind it, rather than a set of roles and expectations that shift based on context and are different for each pair (you and your dad being a different set of expectations than you and your classmate or you and your lover), it’s very hard to agree with or object to any particular statement.
It’s incredibly incorrect for some of my experiences, and somewhat recognizable for others.
