When I went to the university in the early 1980s, one fellow thought "Mike's a man and men don't like their wives working !" so he figured I wanted a housewife . At another point, he thought I'd insist on my wife staying home and being a housewife . In reality, I'd have nothing against my wife working and bringing home a paycheck . What's the point of a man insisting on his wife staying home and being a housewife ? Is the only reason the chance to say "I make all the money, so I make all the decisions ?" . Isn't that kind of sexism old -- fashioned in this day and age ? If a man can't make enough money to finance his marriage, he shouldn't complain if his wife goes to work and helps him out . If a man refuses to let his wife work and make a paycheck, why shouldn't his wife refuse to stay married to him ?
