[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All this talk about rich non-working women —come on.

The vast majority in the DMV have salaries that can’t support/justify the cost of childcare so they stay home.  Period.

They aren’t living this glamorous life.[/quote]

No one cares about them because they're not interesting. They care about the blonde mom, who kept her figure, who is driving around in her Range Rover on her way to Pilates after having dropped off her 3-4 kids at a Big Three private. [/b]

She's the one they can't stand.[/quote]

haha yeah it's this[/quote]

Since this is the stereotype that gets people going, at least on this site, I don't know how people can deny that what really upsets them is the money and the breeziness that this kind of woman displays. They're upset that she doesn't feel compelled to work and doesn't have to for the money.[/quote]

Why don't we see men feeling strongly this way, about nonworking independently wealthy men?[/quote]

Probably because they're aren't that many, as it's not as socially acceptable for men to opt out of working as it is for women. For men who don't have to work for money for whatever reason (either because they have a trust fund, had a windfall earlier in their careers, or married women who are raking in money) they almost always have a side passion project that they say is their career. When asked what they do, they don't say "house husband." They say they're working on a screenplay or a novel or they're developing/shopping an app, starting up a side business, etc. etc. Even if they only do these things very part time and the reality is that they are in truth "house husbands."
