You're entitled to your opinion. My wife has a Ph.D. and is a very capable manager and has a fantastic career I'm proud of. I could not be any more happily married. Who says it's not a cultural thing ? Why is it/could be miserable ? Because you have to share chores, and handle responsibilities together ?
And here I thought we here in America were all about teamwork and getting it done. You'd rather come home and talk to your wife about what happened on a latest soap opera ? I prefer to ask 'what new and exciting things is your company doing, honey ?'
>>You're entitled to your opinion. <<
My opinion was based on a couple of statements and was not cast in stone. It was reasonable based on the input on which it was based.
I have new input and have adjusted my opinion accordingly. ;)
I reread your post and realized what you were responding to.
That said, I could not disagree with you more. And your caricature of women who do not work outside the home is insulting to them.
My wife in particular is the most intelligent woman I know but she does not waste it on a pointless career/job. She uses it there, but only inasmuch as you use your feet and legs to walk. She sees it only as a (part time) source of income. And the perks we both enjoy because of where she works are worth more than the money she makes - without actually divulging the industry.
