Workforces are aplenty with people that fit that bill (well, most work more than 40). Most of upper management where I last worked fit that definition. I know very few women that want to stay at home. Again, this might be regional, but why would a person go get their degree, usually a masters, and then want to stay at home? It doesn't make sense. Yeah, if they have kids they take some maternity leave.

I look around my office. I see ~50% women. I wonder if this is more blue collar or low end incomes and jobs where it does not pay to pay for child care.

A lot of guys like their wife to be financially dependent on them.

So it's a combination of the fact that I'm working and they're not. And they still complain as if they're in the Warsaw Ghetto, while maintaining a superior attitude. Just a cavalcation of factors that is ultra annoying to people who suffer at work all day.
I'm mad I have to work too! Where is this feminism through which I can complain and exert my superiority and demand my servants!

Ok now, roughly 57% of women and 75% of men in the US are in the workforce. Roughly 100% children are carried in the womb and delivered by women and roughly 0% by men. The number of SAHF is roughly 3% women 14%. Connect the dots.

Oh so its just attractive women who shouldn't have to work. Would that equate to uh..............gold digger?

You think it is unusual for a woman to have a job/career? Geesh, all this articles and news topics about women in the workforce, women out earning men, are all these ugly women?

Until they split up, then it's all "how dare that golddigging leech think she deserves any of *my* hard-earned money."

They'll work for a few years after getting their Master's but if they meet a dermatologist making $270k/yr then they'll want to settle down with him and take for themselves a less stressful, less demanding job than they had before, if they decide to keep working at all.

Some women, sure.....but not all.

And maybe the woman is a dermatologist making 270k a year, and the man is a welder making 30k.

I can't imagine just up and quitting my job and becoming financially dependent on another person, I LIKE my stressful and demanding job.

And you know what? They should rock on with that. The whole men are this and women are that thing that keeps coming up over and over is useless. Find someone who wants the same things you want. Instead of looking at everyone as one size fits all.

The women I know are very ambitious and I don't see them fitting your imagined path to happiness. Amazingly, lots of women have professional goals and are very driven to achieve them.
