And in addition, "Today, 31% of women who are married or cohabiting are contributing at least half of the couple’s total earnings (including 28% who earn more than their husband or partner and 3% who earn about the same amount). In 69% of married or cohabiting couples, the man earns more than the woman, though this is down from 87% of married couples in 1980."

And this:

"Most children who grow up in the United States in the 21st century will be raised in households in which all of the adults work.1 They are most likely to be raised by a single working parent or two married parents who are both employed, and only a minority of children will grow up in families with a full-time, stay-at-home parent throughout their childhood.2"

And on top of that, those women do the bulk of the second shift after they get home so I really don't want to hear about how hard it is to be the "provider" for an entire family. I get that there are pressures and stresses to that and if you spoke of it in that context, I'd be happy to listen, but making it a contest between what women do to contribute to the family and what men do is a losing proposition on a variety of levels.
