As more women earn high-level corporate roles, more husbands are staying home, raising the kids, and changing the rules

My take - this is an unnatural, and therefore unstable situation. Men are supposed to bring home the bacon, and the woman is supposed to cook it up. A woman who brings home the bacon will never entirely respect her husband.

Of course, the couple first featured has a cougar (age 49) with an age 38 husband, who should be dating women his son's (stepson's?) (age 19) age.

not here. in the real world.
I disagree -- if a woman made more than me, that wouldn't bother me, assuming she still treated me with respect and we had a healthy balanced relationship. I don't need to one-up someone or wield power. I would be ok if she was cool about it.

If she was making all the bling and trying to act like superwoman, trying to peg me into some stereotype as a 'helpless man', that would be a different story. Get the fvck off my back I'll hold my own, is likely what I'd say. There are lots of people, men and women, who make good $ but don't let it get to there heads. A lot of people can recognize the opportunities they've had along the way, etc, and not always let it bloat their ego.

So if I was with a chick who was balanced in not being a ****y-b!tch, sure, make more $, in fact, that would make me less concerned about her trying to peddle me for cash!
