Women seem wired to expect a husband to be of a better position than they are. Call it the “Cinderella Complex.”

As these women are being favored for promotions in some places to idealize hiring DEI expectations or to counter a male-heavy top management, it discriminates against men in those same positions wanting to move up.

In the end, this really complicates all sorts of situations.

We should hire and promote based on merit, not sex. Women and men should also be godly examples, though.

Blame Disney.

And it's our fault for showing Disney movies.

"Cinderella Complex" or "Disney Complex" is a term that masks what's really happening - they're "Monkey Branching". They're swinging from branch to branch, always for a better mate. They keep trading up until inevitably they swing and miss or simply can't go any further. Then the try to go back and get together with someone they previously dumped. Men aren't playing that game anymore.

Better to call it the "Children Complex". Women get married in order to have children. Even though they are successful enough to support themselves or even themselves and a spouse they expect when they have children that the husband will have to pick up their share of finances. Kids are expensive and if something goes wrong medically the costs can go through the roof.

Now you will occasionally have a highly charged women who wants a house husband who will take care of the children while she works outside the home but that is a outside the norm.

The more common way is she works until the kids arrive and then, if they have the money which is dependent on having a successful husband, she stays home to raise the children until they are all of school age when she returns to work part time.

Taking this break right at the time when you are making the most strides in your career is costly in terms of not only your current but future earnings. So, once again, successful husband is necessary.
