women entering the workplace created destroyed our society, economic independence encouraged women to seek out high status/higher earning men in an effort to find men who were "above" them socially/economically, this is a common theme, women wanna be with someone who makes more money than them

"We argue that this pattern is best explained by gender identity norms, which induce an aversion to a situation where the wife earns more than her husband. We present evidence that this aversion also impacts marriage formation, the wife’s labor force participation, the wife’s income conditional on working, marriage satisfaction, likelihood of divorce, and the division of home production. Within marriage markets, when a randomly chosen woman becomes more likely to earn more than a randomly chosen man, marriage rates decline." Marianne Bertrand, Emir Kamenica, Jessica Pan, Gender Identity and Relative Income within Households , The Quarterly Journal of Economics, Volume 130, Issue 2, May 2015, Pages 571–614,


this preference isn't new, women naturally want someone who provides, but as women entered the workplace and became economically independent man they were comfortable "settling" for became much wealthier and more attractive. financial dependence on men forced women to settle for for someone "lower status" out of necessity


in addition during the 1960s less wealthy men were completely priced out of the marriage market (read this btw (https://avalonlibrary.net/ebooks/Ch...t - The State of White America, 1960-2010.pdf) the standards of women among the lower, middle and upper class grew greatly, while only the upper class men standards grew close to as much as the women, basically as the economic status of women rise there standards rise exponentially more than men to meet there new status.


this is all a big cycle, women enter the workforce, gain economic independence, express there naturally hypergamous tendencies (fuck around), less "acceptable" men are available, marriage rates fall, women stay single and in the workplace, repeat

It gives them more options, let’s say they have a shit paying job and want to find someone with a higher pay job.If he told her that since she’s the wmen she has to cook, clean etc.

She would say no because she “works” if she quit her job it would make no difference because society programs them to think they are more than servants, she would probably end up paying someone to do the things for her.

This is the result of wmen in education oriented society’s, they never learn these important skills because they are too busy.

Men’s skills are learned from hard times, most of the stuff they get is from going through life.

the only acceptable job for a woman is a teacher, i do think that in large families there is a place for some hired work, so that the mother can focus on child rearing,

but its also the families responsibility, once the children are old enough to assume some of these chores, children washing dishes, or washing clothes or going to get groceries, also good for future development.

once the children are essentially independent 16-17 the mother should move onto another type of work, sowing, cooking, or other household things like that. if shes not having more kids

this works even better for *them because 2 taxpayer households give double the income tax and reinforce the idea of daycare and public schooling.
