    Turning the traditional model of gender roles in marriage on its head


    Women as the breadwinners: Turning the traditional model of gender roles in marriage on its head

    In the last few decades, women have come to gradually outpace men in education, with women making up 60% of university graduates in Canada, and in earnings growth, with the average total income for women in Canada increasing at nearly twice the pace of men’s. And as this outpacing across North America only seems to accelerate, working women are poised to eclipse men as the primary household breadwinners — a cultural shift that is changing the dynamics between husband and wife, turning the traditional model of gender roles in marriage on its head and even shaping the way younger generations view an institution at risk.

    What happens in a new order that’s still in transition, when the hard won equality among partners is surpassed as mom rushes off to work while dad takes the kids to the playground, wonders Washington Post reporter Liza Mundy, author of the forthcoming book The Richer Sex: How the New Majority of Female Breadwinners Is Transforming Sex, Love and Family, due out in March.

    The inevitable result of this will be more family breakdown.

    Women are more likely to shag around when they are the "head of family" which they would be in this scenario, and indeed men also are more likely to shag around when they in this "lower status" position as "kept man". (Although men who are significantly much more powerful in this respect than their partners also tend to be more likely to shag around than the average 25% superior income male.. But in the case of the "Alpha male" breadwinners, their partners tend to remain loyal and accept their position like good uns..)

    And thats not even considering that most women get royally pissed off when they are not fully in control of their own kids, especially when they see a man doing a better job of raising em then they can..

    Re: Turning the traditional model of gender roles in marriage on its head

    I just LOVE the phrase "hard won equality" when in the preceding paragraph she lists reasons why it is anything BUT equality! Sorry dear, you let your 'equality' facade slip there to reveal your hypocrisy.

    The story is a beat-up, taking a few isolated examples and some dodgy statistics to claim that some sort of feminist utopia has been achieved. So 60% of university graduates in Canada are female? Statistics don't reveal the full story, education standards have had to be lowered and feminised in order to achieve this, rendering education boring and non-challenging for boys who thrive on competition. You only have to read some of the job applications my company receives to conclude that edukayshun ain't wot it was; CVs littered with spelling mistakes and poor syntax. Honestly, there are people out there with 'degrees' who can't even tie their own shoelaces! How can you take seriously a covering letter that contains the sentence "I would of been the most senior member of ..... ". And would you employ a woman who claimed that she had studied for her degree at the University of 'Edinborough'? Three years in that beautiful city and she couldn't even spell its name, or use spell-check!!!!

    My current company doesn't pay much heed to qualifications and has resorted to giving applicants written and oral tests in order to find out if they will be suitable.

    Re: Turning the traditional model of gender roles in marriage on its head

    I just wonder why any man would tie himself legally to a wimyn like this - clearly he is just a temporary adjunct - a result of one of her recent clewless choices;

    nowadays, young men should let these new age gals fend for dar selves, as he flies off to Acapulco to shag the local wenches without signing any ball breaking feminit new age peonage contract;

    sadly young men ae the product of years of demoralisation by the feminit claptrap and actually believe the feminit mindless twang about equality;

    nowadays if a guy tries to communicate with a wimyn on an equality ( Noah websters objective definition of equality not the Marxist version designed to confound clear objective thinking ) basis she wiil shriek harassment, discriminatin and other accusative epithets from her book of new age feminit twang - may verses come from the fantasy The Female Eunuch : youse know the deal, after 10 000 years of men attaining civilisation it was all done on the backs of wimyn - pigs may fly I say !!! more like wimyn on their backs

    When this system does break down,(and it will) do not shed a single tear for any of the degenrate, lying, sub human garbage who called for it's destruction.

    Scorn and mockery towards men in need is one of the reasons feminism is dying as we speak!.

    Re: Turning the traditional model of gender roles in marriage on its head

    Let's look at some of the quotes from the article:

    “It can be disconcerting, even if you’re proud of it,” she said. “Some women don’t want to get trapped as the primary breadwinner. They feel they’re going to lose flexibility and choice in their lives — maybe if they want to stay home with the kids it’s going to be less feasible? They are getting their head around the idea that they’re providing.”

    The very fact that women feel disconcerted because they have less of a choice speaks volumes. Women want the ability to be the breadwinner and have the option of chucking it all and being a stay at home Mother. Having it all is an illusion these women embrace with the media and modern feminism constantly pushing the fallacy.

    "One woman told Ms. Mundy she had lost her feelings for her husband after she went to work and he became the caregiver at home, saying she “respected him less as a man.”

    Of course she now respects him less as a man. To her mindset, he is doing his wife's work at home. This mindset with women as the chief breadwinner is quite prominent. He's less of a man because he is not busting his back for her benefit.


    “I interviewed this one really progressive feminist who admitted ‘Sometimes, I know it’s wrong, but I just had these spasms of thinking ‘It’s my money, not our money,’” Ms. Mundy said."

    Yep. In my experience, when a woman earns a lot of money, it's her money. When a man earns money it is magically transformed into "our money" or "The Families Money". BTW, what the hell is a progressive feminist?


    "Ms. Winchester admits to feeling that way too sometimes. She and her husband have been paying down debt, but when she wants to buy something for herself, she can feel a fleeting wave of resentment that she cannot."

    That's called being responsible and being responsible for bettering the family finances.


    “I know it [seems like a] childish thing, but at the same time I’m thinking ‘I make the money, why can’t I buy an iPad?’ That was my thing — if I make this money, why can’t I go out and buy a computer if I want to?”

    Because you have a family and are the breadwinner. Family comes first, right? Us men are taught that from the time we could read.

    Welcome to the new society girl: You wanted to be equal to men
    , make the same or more then men, have power and careers like men. Welcome to the responsibilities of being a man. The only issue is you don't like it, do you?

    "Dr. Joshua Coleman, co-chair of the Council on Contemporary Families, says questions of identity can be more pronounced for men if they’re staying at home or making less than their high earning wives."


    “What do [husbands] think their wives or their romantic partners think about them as men if a) they can’t provide for the family, or b) don’t have an equal income or have no income whatsoever?” he asked. “I think it works well in those homes when the man doesn’t get the majority of his identity from his work and that he can maintain his self-esteem and it also works well where the woman is sensitive to how that shift could easily humiliate him.”

    Aye, there's the rub. What wife would not intentionally or unintentionally humiliate their husband for earning less or being a stay at home Dad? Women who earn more than their boyfriend or husband wear the fact as a badge of honor and are more then willing to crow about the fact to whomever will listen.

    I wonder if women would still outperform men if they didn't have their precious affirmative action, and there wasn't constant misandry putting men down.

    A very interesting essay. It would piss feminists off to no end if affirmative action were taken to balance out the male/female ratio at colleges and universities. A really good point was made in the article: What man would want to go to a university or college with a hostile environment towards males?

    This predilection will be no small matter in a few decades, and universities are justifiably nervous as the pool of future rich donors shrinks vis-a-vis those who majored in French literature.
    if there ever were to be affirmative action in favour of the men,the above reason would be the only reason.

    Re: Turning the traditional model of gender roles in marriage on its head

    I personally cannot see a problem at all. I am quite happy to sit back and let them slave away at a nine to five if they so wish. Bear in mind also that they are not overly happy about that fact either. All this will change when the pendulum swings back the way it always does. Let them work their butt off while we just sit back and wonder why they even bother. Since when was life all about work ?

    Re: Turning the traditional model of gender roles in marriage on its head

    What strikes me is the way it is interpretted from a female perspective and men are simply assumed to adjust accordingly to what women want.

    Women want to stay home - men are expected to bring home the bacon.
    Women want to go to work - men are expected to make room/laws/changes to accomodate women.
    Women want to look after kids - men are expected to take a back seat.
    Women want men more involved with kids - men are expected to do so.
    Women want to be seen as dainty & incapable of harming others - men have to respect that.
    Women want to be seen as strong & independent - men have to accomodate.
    women want - men must change.



    How about, for a change, we consider what men want and tell women to change according to our desires?

    The most offensive thing you can do to a feminist is treat her with FULL equality.
    Wife : "I dreamt they were auctioning off dicks. The big ones went for ten dollars and the thick ones went for twenty dollars."
    Husband : "How about the ones like mine?"
    Wife : "Those they gave away."
    Husband : "I had a dream too...I dreamt they were auctioning off pussy. The pretty ones went for a thousand dollars, and the little tight ones went for two thousand."
    Wife : "And how much for the ones like mine?"
    Husband : "That's where they held the auction."

    I did that with a woman. Took me 11 years to get the back child support she owed me.
