Wouldn't it be interesting if more and more guys stayed home and raised the kids, while the women earned the household income? I don't think that will happen, but it's fun to ponder what society would look like.
More men are abandoning college. Professor explains why this is dangerous

TBH, I think he's just pulling your chain.
Meanwhile, as the stats prove, all the old, retired fuckwads need to pull their heads out of their asses and recognize that women don't go to "finishing school" anymore and they go to college for the same reasons as men do; as a means to a successful career.
What the old fuckwads aren't seeing is that, sure, both men and women get married, but that doesn't mean the woman kicks off her shoes, spreads her legs and becomes a Soccer Mom. She continues to work. Only fucking dumbasses think a HS diploma waitress job is better than a college-degree middle-management job.
As the BLS.gov link proves, dual income homes almost double their income. Although it doesn't explain why, it's a good guess that the reason is to support a higher standard of living and to save for the future.
https://www.magnifymoney.com/blog/news/dual-income-households-study/
More than 50% of U.S. households are dual income. In 2019 — the latest available nationwide data — 53.3% of households are dual income, up from 51.9% in 2010.
https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2020/a...nd-single-income-households-with-children.htm
The percentage of dual-income households with children under age 18 has been on the rise since the 1960s, surpassing the percentage of father-only-employed households in the 1970s.1 This rise most likely reflects a cultural shift involving women in the workforce. The female labor force participation rate increased from 1960 onward, peaking at 60 percent in 1999.2 Monitoring and analyzing this trend is important, because the expenditure patterns of dual-income households could differ from those of single-income households, affecting the U.S. economy....

Maybe most Republicans here who qualified for college went to Liberty University or some other bible study school?
I literally never met a female in college I had the impression was there strictly for the Mrs degree.
I fear that would be more of the lion pride model. Women does everything, useless males lounging around the house, like many Republican
households.
Nope, they're not. That's why we need to respect -- and fund -- trade schools as much as we do college. Unless you are lucky enough to have a relative or friend who can apprentice and teach you, it's pretty hard to get any sort of decent-paying blue collar type job anymore, especially since the unions are mostly gone.
Except that when there's a huge income disparity between the members of a couple, the one with the dough calls the shots.
Far better for all if we keep on doing what we're doing. Both parents have careers, share household duties, and raise their kids -- what great role models.

Auto workers in IN, KY, TN, and AL would disagree as they are all much happier employees while drawing good wages
lol. Not how it works in my marriage.
They would disagree with what? Trade schools for those who don't want to go the academic college route? Why would they disagree with that?

Agreed. Who wants a house like Sailor's cookie cuttered across the land, the kind where he belches and farts in his catsup stained wife beater while his long suffering wife
clocks in at the factory for 12 hours a day while he watches soap operas and scarfs down on can after can of cold spaghettios,
the ones with the little hot dogs in them.

that good paying blue collar jobs are hard to find without unions. I agree with Trade schools, my HVAC friend and electrician friends all live better that most of the attorneys we know

Lord, that sounds exactly like my ex in-laws from decades ago. He was a grotesquely obese, ignorant-and-proud-of-it (he made it through 3rd grade, no kidding) Archie-Bunker-without-the-humanity type. His wife was 10 years younger than he, and still worked FT in a factory that made the plastic wrappers on loaves of bread. It wasn't air-conditioned and she didn't drive, so she rode the bus, sweated all day, rode the hot bus home. They had a large old brick house on the outskirts of St. Louis, with one window a/c in the living room. He would turn it on for "poor King" (their dog) if King panted, but not for his wife. She did all the cooking, cleaning, yardwork, laundry, everything. While his fat ass sat in the recliner watching TV and yelling about the "n-words are taking over" and picking at the huge sore on his fat nose that turned out (there IS a god) to be cancer. As you might have guessed, I despised him. Ugh.
Yep, we need more a/c repair guys and a lot less lawyers. lol

Pipe down you obviously mentally deficient welfare boy. Seriously. The likes of you and Guno should be the last people on this earth discussing education and intellect. Or work for that matter.
