Men, since caveman days, have been the breadwinners, and the ones to provide for their families, and it threatens their manhood when a woman can do this better than they can. I think most men, generally, aren't reacting like this because they think they are smarter or more capable than women (although there are the male chauvanist pigs out there who truly do believe women are inferior to men as human beings) but I think that they want to protect and provide for the women in their lives and that is why they get very offended and say NO when the women in their lives want them to make a change that will involve the man not being the main breadwinner. It takes a very highly evolved male with a secure ego to be comfortable with his wife making more money or making changes that further her career over his, especially if he isn't employed. That's my take on it, anyway. Men are strange. That pretty much sums it up. Ha!Midlife Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11607599900573988844noreply@blogger.com
