Okay I'm going to bite because I saw this on the AskMen one and I roll my eyes into the back of my head everytime I see it being complained on Reddit.
The whole "women care about the money a guy's make" thing. I'm going to focus on serious relationship stuff here, because most of my friends are in or looking for serious relationships.
A. This is entirely anecdotal but the friends I know who make more money seem to look like they have shit together and have more ambition/passion. Having their shit together is attractive and so is ambition.
B. I see guys talk about wanting a stay home wife that takes cares of the household chores and kids but then totally abhor the idea of a women caring about how much their spouse makes. HER ENTIRE LIVELIHOOD WILL DEPEND ON THE ONE MAN SHE CHOOSES AS HER HUSBAND. She and her kids will have to depend on him for all monetary needs, ofc she's going to give a shit about how much money you make.
C. I want kids. My boyfriend wants kids. I'm going to try my best to work during pregnancy and post partum but so many things can go wrong during those times that if the case is that I have to give up on my career for a bit, it'll be okay because my spouse would be able to pick up the slack and I won't have to worry about being broke.
D. Look (even with the advent of feminism and equal rights) if I get married or have kids, I'm going to have tons of pressure on all sides to be a SAHM especially with the male dominated career I'm heading into (though it's getting better.) I don't want this but the odds are stacked against me. While having kids is a bonus in the employers eyes for a guy, it a complete negative for me as a woman. I'm going to have take time off to have my children. Im going to have to deal with the negative implications of being a married women in the workforce. We just had a thread about sexism in the workplace with all the glorious horror stories about having to hide wedding rings and kids because it looks bad to employers. I want to have it all, kids and a good home as well as a fulfilling career but it's stacked against me. I don't want to be a SAHM but I can't help but feel like I'm on a countdown to when my career eventually will be more of a hinderance than a joy. There's a great related article called Why Woman Still Can't Have It All by Anne Marie Slaughter that I really enjoyed reading.
F. Okay but what if you don't want kids? Well, there is the issue of guys not picking up the slack at home which pressures women to stay at home. My boyfriend and I have discussed plans of family life (far off in the future for sure but he's very much a family man) and if need be, he'll be the stay at home parent while I work because his career path is more flexible then mine. It's reassuring for me but if my boyfriend had his way, we would be eating ramen on a daily basis. I taught myself how to cook using the Internet (shout out to Tasty and Cooking With Dog) and I have pleaded with him to learn to cook proper food but he's not motivated. I'm at my internship for 9 hours a day and he's not working during the summer. So when I come home after work feeling exhausted, I have to start cooking dinner right away or else I'm going to fall asleep without any dinner. Thankfully, he does other chores like laundry and we swap on and off with washing dishes but it still infuriates me. And this is happening to a lot of my other lady friends, particularly my Latina friends! Because growing up, the guys were never expected to ever help around the household so trying to break years worth of habit is struggle especially if the guys aren't motivated to change. One of my guy friend's grandma comes every two weeks to clean his room and do his laundry! He's a grown man!
TL;DR: Being a SAHM is my worse nightmare but if it's going to happen, it better be the best fucking nightmare out there.
Also, on a last note, guys give us shit for dating rich assholes and but it's totally okay for them to only date women for being super physically hot even if she's a bitch and has a personality of a piss stained used condom. Uh huh. Okay.
