[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weird question. My DW makes something like 25x less than me. So what?  She likes her job and I love her.  We’re very happy. [/quote]

The pint is women have this choice to tap out and draft. Men do not. [/quote]

Men do have this choice.  They don’t make it though because OTHER MEN look down on them when they do, not women.  Most women married to lower earning men working long hours would prefer that the men tap out of coaching high school football or whatever they are doing that is so time consuming, low paying, and beloved, and do the things that the lower earning women in this thread do (childcare, maintaining the house, organizing social activities).  
But men don’t want to give up being a high school football coach to come home and watch the kids and make dinner every night while his wife works late.  And it’s not because their WIVES would be upset or lose respect for them.  It’s because their buddies would.  [/quote]

Absolutely so.[/quote]
