[quote=Anonymous]It’s quite the opposite. Stereotypical gender roles are far more entrenched among poorer people than well off and better educated people. The reason you see more housewives among higher incomes is because they can afford to have the wife not work. But that is a conscious decision reflecting the family’s needs and wants. You are clearly not from the upper middle or upper classes because most women outside the genuinely wealthy do work. And they work in the professions and all sorts of roles. And there is a clear pattern of high achieving men preferring high achieving women as well. Regardless of whether the wife stays at home in the 1950s model or works, the marriages among the better off are much more stable and divorce rates are much lower. This reflects that UMC and UC marriages are more likely to be based on equality and common understanding and respect. Divorce rates for the poorer are much higher and they are also increasingly not marrying at all. [/quote]
