Default How depressing is the news that sexist men earn more than liberal ones?

Men who believe women should stay at home earn, on average, £4,722 more than more liberal and enlightened men and their unemancipated female counterparts earn £833 less per year!

Sexist men earn more, but the woman stay at home?
Liberal men earn normal and have women earning normal?
So the liberal men and better off financial?


"Another theory suggests that employers are more likely to promote men who are the sole earner in preference to those who do not - they recognise that they need more support for their families, because they are the breadwinner."

Morning Skidoo

Perhaps the families where the man earns a higher income have decided that the wife does not need to work? I think this may be just statistics being interpreted in a way to make a story

They probably have old fashioned views on women at work, and get promoted or receive pay rises from similarly narrow minded people.

But then again they have wives/girlfriends who put up with these views - I don't think these men have the most fulfilling wives, intellectually or otherwise.

I think it's ironic.

It's because those men have women at home that support and nurture them. When both are working, where is the support?

Behind every great man is a great woman.

Gay men earn even more.
The only thing that matters is how a man treats a woman.
