Kay Hymowitz, Senior Fellow, Manhattan Institute speaks with Tom Brodbeck about the implications of women becoming 40% of breadwinners in US households.



Women are earning more -- and doing more housework too

Quote
"Our analysis...suggests that gender identity considerations may lead a woman who seems threatening to her husband because she earns more than he does to engage in a larger share of home production activities, particularly household chores," the Times quoted the economists' paper as saying.

As more women become bigger breadwinners, the news isn't all good

It's hard, at first glance, not to feel wonderfully liberated by this statistic: According to a new study, 40 per cent of U.S. homes with kids under the age of 18 now have moms bringing home the biggest paycheque. That's a quadrupling since 1960, and not that far away from the 50-per-cent mark. After-work cocktails, all around.
That is, if you're a breadwinning mom who can afford them.

Unpossible.

Women only earn .75 per every dollar men earn.
You may sleep soundly at night because rough men stand ready to visit violence upon those who seek to harm you.

So previously when men earned more, feminists were unrelenting about a pay-gap (myth). Now women have not only caught up, but surpassed men's wages (even in engineering), certainly in the middle-classed demographic the newspaper is targeting. We see the wage-gap conveniently dropped because it affects men more, and instead - a 'distracting' whine about women doing housework, even though the article acknowledges there is negligible difference between the sexes regarding input.

It's a perfect example of no matter how much women gain and men lose out in modern times, media feminists will work feverishly to maintain a guarded narrative of female victimhood to remain relevant.

And no word on what part of that %40 are "households" of single women/mothers/female "wives"?


As my barber used to assure me when finished, "You're the BEST looking guy in the chair".

So when's the reversing "trend" part where Husbands/Fathers are NOW making most of the "domestic"spending decisions?

That would provide more fodder for that form of "family violence". Any form of male dominence can't be anything but that. "Family violence" is what its (DV) called this month down here.
I'm mad.
I'm furious.
I've enough rage to fuel a thousand suns.

Ending the chore war: 5 ideas for peace on the domestic front
Quote
Luckily, a number of experts - mostly people looking for answers to their own domestic chaos - are starting to offer solutions they have test-driven, building a new genre of self-help for the too-busy, two-working-parents demographic.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer for divving up the chores. Here are some of the most intriguing ideas.

THINK LIKE A FEMINIST

According to Amy and Marc Vachon, chores and childcare should be split as close to 50-50 as possible. As they lay out in their groundbreaking 2011 book Equally Shared Parenting, neither spouse should have a more demanding job nor should one stay at home full-time - in fact shortened work-weeks for both partners is the ideal.

A clear-eyed accounting of dozens of domestic chores and tasks is required - the Vachons offer worksheets in their book and online. Men don't automatically mow the lawn and women don't automatically write all the thank-you notes. It's fine if one parent does 100 per cent of a particular task. Overall balance is the goal. The word parenting in the title is key - the Vachons say that for them, having children was the trigger that challenged their commitment to gender equality.

"I started to get more and more angry at how the entire other parent was missing from the conversation. There was a solution staring everyone in the face," said Amy Vachon.

Take-home tip: Sometimes a chore like laundry can be sliced in half. At the Vachons, she does the lights and he does the darks, each at their own pace.
