[QUOTE="SarahLouise, post: 2631592, member: 373718"] Certainly - childless women earn 8% more than childless men now and we need to find a way to get men's college grades up. This is particularly important in medicine which has a huge male drop out rate leading to 70% of qualifying doctors being female. In most first marriages now the woman earns more and this changes when children come along because it is still more often the woman who stops work or reduces hours. Men with children still earn more than women with children. We should consider why men do not stay home with children more considering they have lower income potential. In studies 50% of men said they would like to be stay at home dads whilst only 10% of women said they would like their partner to do that. This can be tackled by getting past the gender role that men are measured by their success at work and women by their nurturing motherly skills. Women and men can both tackle this stereotype.
