[quote=Anonymous]Male biglaw partner here. My wife is SAHM, it's fairly common for the male partners at the firm to have SAHMs. Female partners are more likely to be divorced. Women lose respect for their husbands when they stay home. They may not say it out loud, they may not even want to feel that way. Seems to be some type of jealousy/envy that the male partners have SAHM and can focus solely on work while women have to do a second shift at home. That dynamic, more than any other I have seen, accounts for the wage and advancement gap and probably the divorce gap too. Until women are willing to accept (and men can truly accomplish) the male SAH role, the gap will persist when kids come along.[/quote]
