[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because to most women (though certainly not all), whether they choose to admit it publicly, marrying a rich guy and staying at home is winning the lottery. Men don't have that luxury. Feminism has really messed up this cushy gig for women.[/quote]

Nope. Not a cushy gig if you are really invested in children, keeping house, cooking. Far more common are women who work a full time job, then are expected to do all the wifely duties at home. The result of that kind of marriage? Exhausted women, failed marriages, neglected children and, quite often, bankruptcy when one job falls apart but the couple's have borrowed up to the limit based on two incomes. I can think of only one marriage with two working parents in which the husband/father does even close to 50 percent of home/child care and a whole bunch where the man wants the lifestyle afforded by a working wife and the benefits of an at-home wife.

See "The Two Income Trap" by Mass. Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
