Conservative Men Still Don’t Like It When Women Out-Earn Them

We have come a long way. More women are working and fewer prioritise solely on marriage, even if, infuriatingly, they’re not usually paid as well as their male counterparts with similar skills and education.

Although the year is now 2017, while women continue to fight for their rightful place in the office, where pay is fair and they are free from any form of harassment, one annoying problem arises, in cases such as when wives are earning more than their hubbies.

New research published in the Harvard Business Review discovered that there’s a direct correlation between a man’s breadwinner status and his political views. As it turns out, lots of men are threatened by the fact that their wives are making more money than them, and it’s making them feel less inclined to support feminist causes.

We know, what kind of man would be such a sourpuss that his lady is feeling professionally fulfilled and earning what she deserves? In a word: Republicans.

The study found that Republican men who contributed less to their household income than they did two years prior became significantly less supportive of abortion rights, and the more income that they lost relative to their spouses, the more their support for abortion dropped.

Truth is, far too many men were taught as boys to identify their self-worth with their income. In fact, far too many men have been raised under the ideology that providing more money than their significant other is a part of being a ‘real man’.

Hell, this ideology really hasn’t slowed down much at all, and there are little boys growing up today who are encouraged to view their income as an extension of their manhood.

So what does it all mean? We guess men have a long way to go to reconcile how money impacts their self-worth and identity. With that said, while it has been decades since most married women wait around for their husband to bring home the dough, being the primary breadwinner in a household is still a big part of the gender identity of many conservative men.

Well, money and work are about more than finances, they’re tied deeply to how people view themselves.
