@thefemalelead: "High-achieving women experience social backlash and penalties for doing the very things that lead to professional success. As one study concludes, “norms and behavior in the marriage market hinder the closure of the gender gap in the labor market”. In other words, the personal backlash women in heterosexual marriages experience in response to their successes can not only undermine their own ambitions, it can also reinforce the persistent gaps in power, representation and economic equity more broadly."

I used to have half of my paycheck deposited in a separate account so my ex wouldn’t know I earned so much more than him. It was actually a reallly smart move when we split because I had a nest egg he never knew about 😏

agree! I have to say, this goes for insecure men. I’ve met quite a few younger guys who love being married to women that make more. It gives me hope!

I found this to be true. At first, he bragged that I was successful & made good money, but the larger the pay gap grew, the more it bothered him.

teaching kids "you run like a girl" as a bad thing makes them think women are always worse so when they succeed the partners feel inferior or somethin
