So first you say this,

But most choose not to, because every decision has consequences, and most women have judged the advantages as worth it. That's largely because when you live as a man, no one chases you around competing to give you free stuff. Your comfort isn't even an entity of consideration. Your value is not innate, but vested in your continued ability to toil away, skillfully working hard to produce a result. Your value is in your talents, not in simply existing.

So most women like to be a prize; not a mere prize, but at LEAST a prize. There's nothing wrong with that, as you might as well use every advantage you have.

and then you give a clear example of 'sexist power structures' while simultaneosly claiming that they don't exist. I know how much people like you love to jerk off 'individual decisions' and somehow believe that libertarian free will exists, but it's simply a fact that people make decisions for a reason. If you grow up in a society where women are almost universally viewed as objects to be won and men to be emotionless workhorses, of course you're probably going to hold those views yourself. Just like how you'd probably be quite racist if you grew up in the south in the 1800s. Assuming that you don't think these sexist attitudes are good, they can obviously still be changed on a societal level, even if it's made up of 'individual decisions'.
