Comments on: Women are Becoming the Breadwinners http://www.kineda.com/women-are-becoming-the-breadwinners/ Wed, 01 Oct 2008 00:17:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: jon http://www.kineda.com/women-are-becoming-the-breadwinners/#comment-103022 jon Tue, 09 Oct 2007 05:21:49 +0000 http://www.kineda.com/women-are-becoming-the-breadwinners/#comment-103022 I think this all stems from an insecurity from guys - either they feel less manly because they don't fit the old scheme of the head of the household or they fear she will eventually look down on him for his supposed lack of success (unfortunately, we often equate success with salaries). Either way, isn't it silly for insecurity to ruin an otherwise great relationship? I think the key is that our salaries are just one other personal trait: within a couple, there will always be one that is funnier, one that is more attractive, one who is smarter, one who is more understanding, and one who earns more money. Who cares which one it is? As long as they don't flaunt it or belittle the other, it shouldn't be a problem, no? Rather naive-sounding, I know, but I think it's really the crux of the issue. Although, I do wonder, for any divorce lawyers out there, does alimony work in the guy's direction???

I guess men have had the kind of outdated, antiquated stereotype of 'provider' placed on them for so long. It'd make me work harder though that's for sure!

Women are hardworking, and I supposed they deserve the success. Im glad that women are starting to make a lot of money, but that means men are making less, and means its harder to date those women. I hope this isn't the case for Toronto. -AllaN That is bittersweet news. Women are hardworking, and I supposed they deserve the success.

It is said that if the business world does not revolve around women, it will go down. well, I guess that the world is evolving. No longer men are the high power and dominator while the females have to follow in pursuit. The thing about men not being able to accept the fact that women are the breadwinner, I must say that it's part of overwhelming ego in them as well. But of course, not all men are that way and you can actually find a lot of men right now having no problem being the one stayin at home while the ladies work and make money. well, I’m learning business now in my college and according to my lecturer, in the modern business world now, women are gaining more power and control.

Seriously now, I'm speaking as a man. Now men can get to sit down and relax while their wives are slogging off at work. What couldn'e be better than that? Man.. what a pathetic world it has been i really like the fact that women are being breadwinners.
