Expectations hurt...

This goes hand in hand with the studies that show that the more housework a husband does, the less sex he and his wife have, and studies that show that the more education a woman has (which correlate with higher earning positions) relative to her husband, the more likely she is to divorce him.

While, as usual, the focus here is on the men and how they need to "man up" and stop measuring their self worth by their paycheck (or lack thereof) the reality is much bigger. The questions that need to be asked are "how is society at large treating and depicting men in relation to how much they earn?" and more importantly "how are women who earn more than their husbands treating their husbands?"

Recent surveys of women showed that an overwhelming majority preferred men who made more money than they do. If this is the case then it logically follows that women are more than likely to be discontent with husbands who make little or no money. But as usual, the onus is ever on the man. It is never the woman who needs to look at herself and examine how she is contributing to the situation.

The notion that these women are in no way contributing to the fact that their husbands are feeling inadequate is ludicrous, and pretty much par for the course for the feminist agenda. You need to take a long hard look in the mirror, sista.

I don't get this, at all. I don't understand why men still measure their own self worth by their salaries and their sexual prolificacy. Take a freakin' break.
