[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women's jobs are a necessity not a luxury. [/quote]

I also can't imagine viewing a job as a luxury.  Imagine telling a man his job is just a silly little hobby.

I'm a lawyer, I out earn my husband slightly and I still get this attitude, particularly from older family members (including my own mom).[/quote]

For many it is as they spend more than they earn on their clothes, bags, jewelry, grooming, eating out, social life. Its not like their families are benefiting. Their husbands have to carry more home/children/mental load and still work hard to be the breadwinners because wives are working.[/quote]

For every one marriage where the woman is a frivolous nilly with a hard working husband busting his ass at work and on the home front I could probably find 500 where the exact opposite is the case. Men struggling to "do it all" are the exception, not the norm. There's a reason why global lending focused on loans to women. When women had access to capital and made money they invested in health, their kids, education, and community. Men pissed it away on booze, gambling, and sex. [/quote]
