[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Men are over represented in lucrative fields. Women are over represented in lower paying fields. Doesn’t make sense for a big law attorney to step back so his 2nd grade teacher wife can lean in. [/quote] This income differential is common (even when the woman is not working a lower paying job, she still statistically is getting paid less for the same job) and compounded by the fact that many women marry someone older, so the older man is higher earning due to more years of work experience. So if the economics say the lower paid person steps back then it’s still more likely to be the woman.[/quote]
