The other way around wouldn't be called selfish, in my opinion, because that a man job to support the whole family, if needed the wife could support too.
I just think if a man thinkin that way it would be so selfish... become pregnant, give birth, etc, only women can do it and it's hard (looking @ my mother) so why would a man let his women do others thing if not needed or his woman wanted it.
then again it just my opinion, i'm not married (yet) so i don't really know  |
It's purely wishful thinking and not ever going to happen. I have plenty of friends though where the wife makes far more money than the husband and in some of those cases it has been the husband who has taken time off working to look after their young child so the wife can get back to work quicker. With people I associate with there is very little of the old time traditional views that man must make money and wife raise the family. To be honest most of them would think that people who hold such views are pretty behind the times. Of course here in Japan where there really wasn't much of a revolution for womens rights gender roles remain fairly traditional.
