  I think that there is an attitude that you may have missed. Whereas men
are raised to expect their careers to support their families, many women
have been "politicized" into expecting their families to support their
careers. This is most evident in 2 career families where the woman
will often accept lower paying jobs that offer greater "prestige"; an
option that the man may not have due to financial obligations.
