women the breadwinners

New statistics show that in 40% of households, the woman is the primary breadwinner. Most of these are single parent homes but an increasing number represent two parent homes where the woman earns more than her partner. This has caused some consternation among men over 50 since they feel that the man should be the bread winner but for younger men they are happy to have the extra income. While this may seem silly to some women, many of these same women say they would be uncomfortable if their partner was shorter than they are. Is that silly?
