So you, you look at this statistics, you say,Ok,25 percent of marriages right now, the woman earn, earns more than the man. Great for women, great strides. But if you also look at the fact that in those marriages the divorce rate is higher than in marriages where the man makes more, you realize you have a problem here. You absolutely have a problem. It's making people on both sides of the equation uncomfortable, women just as much as men. Men are uncomfortable because cut to the chase, money is power. Money is power and money, and power is masculinity. This has so much to do with what your view of it means to be masculine and feminine. It for both, it's very important for both because if you do not feel like your man as masculine, right? Then what does that say about your femininity? OK, just wait a second, we understand why the men get freaked out. Just, coz'they've been taught to say I am the provider( Right!) I am the protector. But why exactly then are the women also( It's guilt.) uneasy with this guilt? It's guilt, it's guilt for leaving the household, going out, out earning your spouse, depriving him of that masculinity. I think it's that exactly that. Depriving him of that. it's, it's imagined women could get to, what am I really guilty about. They think they are robbing their husband / of his masculinity. And at some point, do not they start to question whether their husband's really trying as hard as he should be, and, and is he a slacker in some cases? I think that's defensively somewhat to relieve their guilt. Well maybe he's been a slacker, it's not me robbing him a bit. But of course there is a wish to have an equal partner and feel provided for too on the part of the woman.
