I meet no men who really want their wives at home. THEY WANT THE INCOME. Not to mention the bragging rights of a two-career marriage.

I couldn't agree more. Men have been big beneficiaries of feminism in that it took away the imperative dictated by society to provide. It used to be that if a man couldn't provide for his family, he wasn't much of man at all, barring any tragic circumstances.

In fairness to the new generation of men who want to diversify more than provide; a dollar doesn't buy what it used to. In 1958 (when my parents emigrated to the US) their rent totaled slightly less than 25% of their income; that is unheard of today. But be that as it may, men are just as ready to chuck childrearing to a disinterested third party as are women.
