[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it would interesting to look at SAHDs or dads who daddytrack/go part time while mom is the major breadwinner. . . Even more alarming, they seem to feel it emasculated their husbands and made them less desirable/attractive. I find that both interesting and sad.[/quote] This is interesting, and sad. Work usually done by women is often devalued, so I can totally see that a SAHD would have to deal with people (even women, even his wife) devaluing the work that he does and considering him "less of a man" for doing it. Men in pink collar professions (nursing, elementary school teaching) have faced the same issue. Until, of course, enough men enter the profession that it isn't thought of as "women's work" anymore, at which point, the compensation and respect for the work rise.[/quote]
