[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because most women don't want to be married to men who would take a step back and make their wife be the primary breadwinner. In my experience, this is true even with childfree couples where pregnancy/birth/parenting aren't factors. Super career-focused women are outliers although an out-sized amount of discourse focuses on them.[/quote]

Over 50% of college graduates are women. Even outside of the top 5%, women are earning more than their spouse on dual working homes. [/quote]

In 45% of dual-income marriages, the woman makes equal to or more than the man.

In 2022, at least, in homes in which both spouses worked, in 14% the woman was the primary earner. ([url]https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2023/04/13/in-a-growing-share-of-u-s-marriages-husbands-and-wives-earn-about-the-same/[/url])

That 14% is (wife primary) / (wife primary + egalitarian + husband primary). Excluding homes where either man or woman is sole earner.

You are entitled to your own facts, though.[/quote][/quote]
