E=mc2 | Is it okay for women to make more money than men? |
my wife and i are both family doctors. She makes $140k while i make $120k, and i have no problem with that. I am actually proud that she is worth more than me in the medical market.
But, while at a party, a friend of mine was outraged that i made less than my wife for some reason. i told him that i was proud and had no problem with that, but i think he had issues with male-biased thinking. |

This is an area where society needs to step back and take a closer look at reality! Today women are working in fields where they were not welcome in a decade ago....they are working right along side men and in some cases even their boss. Some people just aren't use to this idea, however with every generation it is becoming more of a norm.
I am a women in business school and sometimes I feel as though I am not taken as seriously as a man would be...it can be a challenge, but I am determined to be treated as an equal in whatever career I choose to pursue.
The male-biased thinking is discusting to me...those who feel women should do all the house work, take care of her husband, and raise the children don't get a second of my time. I was reserching views socity had on this issue from the 1950s a few years ago and actually found a page from a high school class text book describing what makes a good wife. The list included: Make sure the chldren look nice when your husband come home, have dinner ready on the table, take his soes off for him, make sure you look your best, after dinner run a bath for him....
Hopefully this image will dissapear....I'm not taking my husbands shoes off when he comes home! Afterall since women are working now, they can't be expected to do these things!
And as far as income goes, you are right you should be proud of your wife! She probably had to face many obstacles to get where she is now being a woman. If anyone ever says that again just remind them how increible she really is and it doesn't matter who makes more money! And 120K aint' bad! lol |

Of course it's okay. Gender, age, religious believes, lifestyle choices - none of these things should determine whether or not it's "okay" for someone to make a certain amount of money... or a level of income different from another person. |

Damn, I wish I had your problems. My girlfriend makes more than me, and we are only in the 30k range. I don't have a problem with it and neither do any of my friends or family. I think your friend is a doofus and needs to come into the "20th" century. And when he gets comfortable there, he can join the rest of us in the 21st. |

Its the male thing that men are supposed to make more than women but it shouldn't matter. As long as you both have good jobs and are happy, who is your friend to say anything different. |

first of all why and how did he know that much about your family finances -- that should be kept under your roof. that say it is perfect acceptable in most normal areas for the wife to be the better bread winner. in fact if i had ever found one i would have wed her in a new your second -- counts your blessing and let it roll off your back. |

wow most people would love to be in your position, having a combined annual worth of over 250k/yr. stop worrying about what other people think... and if all else fails, if you ever get a divorce you can seek alimony:P |

I guess it depends on the person's view, like you said. Nowadays there are lots of women that make more money than lots of men. It's actually a sociological trend that happened relatively recently, and is not necessarily a good thing. It depends on the people involved, and it depends on how that lifestyle affects the family.
My opinion is that the man should probably make more than the woman. Because the man generally is the head of the household and has to spend on the household - all the bills, the groceries, the cars, the repairs, the field trips, etc.
So basically if the man makes 80K a year and the woman makes 70K, if the man is a traditional head of household then at the end of the year he'll be left with around 30K and the woman will have about 55K. So the woman would still have a lot more money.
So that's my opinion about it. You feminists out there may differ, but I'll tell you to get a reality check.
By the way, your story is an example of how it's better to keep financial information private. Your friend didn't need to know your salary. You can tell him that you and your wife are both doing fine, thank you. It's really not his business how much you make and how much your wife makes. |

The man in the house should be the one providing for his family.
Thats fine if she has a job, but if most of your income comes from her than theres probably something wrong. |
