Of course it is but it doesn’t mean he has to take a job that will make him miserable just because it pays better. That’s what she’s saying. If a man had a choice between:
$50K a year where he has to work late, make frequent trips out of town and is generally frazzled by the time he comes home
or
$40K a year where he feels fulfilled in his job and gets to spend more time at home with the kids,
Dr. Laura has said he should take the $50K job.
I don’t see where that’s right or even her place to say that and I can only assume it comes from a viewpoint where men are walking ATM machines and little else. That’s what I mean by economic slavery.
If the $10K difference was THAT important to the wife, she can find a part-time job or work-from-home. She doesn’t have to assume that it’s all the man’s responsibility.
In most cases, the man will take the higher-paying job anyway but I don’t think it’s her place to claim he *must*.

Proof you have never listened to her show is in bold. That is completely misrepresenting her point and would never be something she would suggest - everything she says is for the benefit of children, who are at the behest of their parents' decisions.
You do realize that they called Dr Laura, she didn’t call them?
