“Many women still aren’t comfortable out-earning their boyfriends — and many men still aren’t comfortable earning less than their wives.”
“Well, they’d better get comfortable! Women are going to be the primary breadwinners in more and more families for so many reasons —
(1) the shift from brawn economy to service economy;
(2) women’s growing share of college degrees; and
(3) sexism softening among male-dominated industries as women establish themselves in more positions of power. A national aversion to successful wives is a really bad recipe for economic growth and family formation. Get over it, guys. It’s a woman’s world, now.”
– Derek Thompson,
a senior editor at The Atlantic
I don’t believe Derek was correct in his assertion that “It’s a woman’s world, now,” but I would agree that it’s rapidly becoming a woman’s America.
