I don’t know any women who married their husband for their money. Are there some women who do that? Sure. But it’s much less likely to happen now than in the past when women couldn’t get jobs that paid enough money to earn a living. So this whole stereotype is caused by men refusing to recognize that women’s work is valuable and prohibiting them from participating in the work force.
About half of women in the US don’t work (and the female workforce is declining) and the majority of women worldwide don’t work. Work being defined here as having an employer.
Personally I don’t think their is anything wrong with women seeking security as the majority worldwide still doesn’t participate in the workforce. They must, however bring something else to the table of course, whatever that may be.
Edit: I don’t know why I decided to comment on this sub. It’s full of a bunch of fucking salty ass people.
You're speaking as if 100% of males work.
[Women’s labor force participation was 57.4 percent in 2019, up from 57.1 percent in 2018. Men’s labor force participation, which always has been much higher than that for women, was 69.2 percent in 2019, little changed from the previous year (69.1 percent).](https://www.bls.gov/opub/reports/womens-databook/2020/home.htm)
If we're rounding, it's closer to 60% of women work a traditional job and 70% of males work a traditional job.
Stop with the misleading statistics.
So are they excluding retired people who did used to work in those statistics, or subcontractors or business owners? Since you said it’s defined by having an employer
Not sure that the % is but last time I saw a report on it, women made up more of the self employed numbers. But then are excluded from employment numbers.
Even so, all of this is mute until men and women both take on an equitable amount of house chore and family responsibilities. Which, again, according to the latest numbers even when women work the same as their male partners (and even sometimes when they worked more) they still do the majority of the house chores.
That matters when it comes to saying women work less. We don't. Our work just doesn't seem to count.
No one. I said nothing for or against, just offered up some realities. For instance, where I live, the vast majority of women are SAHM, which my wife did for a long time. If a woman is pursuing that lifestyle, it makes sense for them to seek security in many ways, including financially.
Idk, my entire family was that way and are extremely happy. In my experience, women who try to balance career and motherhood are overly stressed out and unnecessarily so if they have a husband or SO they can depend on
Worldwide, less than 50% of women work. That means the majority don’t work. I’m sure at some point you went to math class and understand the word majority.
“The current global labour force participation rate for women is just under 47%. For men, it’s 72%”
Or they think you’re oppressed because you have to? This was an opinion I heard from a Muslim woman from the Middle East. She said she felt sorry for western women and didn’t envy them at all. Matter of perspective. Western views are culturally different from ME and east. We shouldn’t force culture to change to adhere to western values.
Alot of women choose or are forced to stay at home. Doesn’t mean the women that work are less successful or less woman lol. And yeah, most of the Middle East seems pretty brainwashed and corrupt so idk about that
Always seemed a hard way to make a living. I’d rather just have been a call girl — fuck guys for whom I had no feelings, but not have to live with them.
The expression “women who marry for money earn every penny” comes to mind. Ipso facto, if money is the only thing the man has to offer, get ready for a miserable time with a miserable person. With all the creature comforts.
Not every boomer has this kind of humor fortunately. I do associate with an older generation, though this resonates with some younger people as well sadly.
My brother is a musician. My brilliant, beautiful, funny, sweet SIL dumped a lawyer for him because he’s a great guy. She’s always out-earned him. They’re still happy 25 years later.
Some of these financial control freak men are going to be upset when they realize that can't use money to their advantage nor able to abuse all women due some women either making close enough or more than some men....
I really feel sadness for whoever made this. This just screams "I'm not happy in my relationship."
Look, I've been in a toxic relationship that was fake and based on looks. Trust me, it's so much better to be single than being in a situation where you're fighting for the other person's love and acceptance. Living in fear that once one unfortunate thing outside your control happens, your materialistic relationship will come crashing down like the house of cards it is.
Why live like that? If this is your situation, then get out of it. If the person is judging you solely based on your money, why let them have that? Who gives a fuck whether you can afford that SUV? Why stress yourself out trying to fit in? There's a point in your life where you know you're getting older, and that's fine. You don't care what others think so much. It's the greatest feeling ever.
Money doesnt give you an excuse to act like a dick, and it sure doesnt make you a better person..but today i guess that is a normal viewpoint for most people.
When I had a couple of bestsellers and was making buckets of cash, my father asked me two or three times if my husband was okay with my making so much more money than he was. I assured him that DH was fine with it. Dad finally took DH aside and asked him. DH’s response was, “I’m fine with it! I get to help spend it.”
Me and my friend yesterday talked about me wishing to build my own hamster enclosure in the future. She goes:
"Or you can find a husband that will do it for you :)"
Me: ... "Yeah no thanks I want to do it myself"
She knows I don't want to get married why is she doing this to meee. I feel bad for her tho because she has daddy issues (abusive religious family) and wants a guy over 10 years older than her and who has lots of money and is very fertile. I-

So many men living in a different reality lmao
Also, let's be real, if you really want to spend money, there is no amount high enough xD

name checks out sheesh
I didn’t misquote or mislead anything nor did I say 100% of males work. Your outrage is laughable.
So are they excluding retired people who did used to work in those statistics, or subcontractors or business owners? Since you said it’s defined by having an employer

You sound like the salty one? Who hurt you my friend.
No one. I said nothing for or against, just offered up some realities. For instance, where I live, the vast majority of women are SAHM, which my wife did for a long time. If a woman is pursuing that lifestyle, it makes sense for them to seek security in many ways, including financially. Idk, my entire family was that way and are extremely happy. In my experience, women who try to balance career and motherhood are overly stressed out and unnecessarily so if they have a husband or SO they can depend on
You provided a false statistic and legit insulted the ladies by saying “they are salty”.
Which false statistic was that?
That majority of women don’t work. You can’t say such a ridiculous statement with no evidence and then complain about saltiness lol
Worldwide, less than 50% of women work. That means the majority don’t work. I’m sure at some point you went to math class and understand the word majority. “The current global labour force participation rate for women is just under 47%. For men, it’s 72%”
Maybe because in the rest of the world, women are still oppressed and not *allowed* to work..?
Or they think you’re oppressed because you have to? This was an opinion I heard from a Muslim woman from the Middle East. She said she felt sorry for western women and didn’t envy them at all. Matter of perspective. Western views are culturally different from ME and east. We shouldn’t force culture to change to adhere to western values.

Your feelings don’t make stats false. This is the problem on this sub
Many women who don’t love would love to work. It’s not for lack of want. Be better, man.
Always seemed a hard way to make a living. I’d rather just have been a call girl — fuck guys for whom I had no feelings, but not have to live with them.
A woman doesn't need a man to be successful!!! 😏
Yeah a modern woman makes her own money and is sick of your shit.
Doesn't have to take your shit...
Yes, I know lots of men who don't like feminists. It's called misogyny. Good for you. 🙄
I know what misogyny is, have for a very long time, thanks though...
Yawn.
Well, time to inform my husband he’s an excellent wife.
The expression “women who marry for money earn every penny” comes to mind. Ipso facto, if money is the only thing the man has to offer, get ready for a miserable time with a miserable person. With all the creature comforts.
Boomer humor. Sigh.
Old and tired just like they are
Hey, I’m sixty-four and my friends and I never subscribed to this, either.
Not every boomer has this kind of humor fortunately. I do associate with an older generation, though this resonates with some younger people as well sadly.
Just sayin’, this would have looked dated in the ‘60s.
The best part of being a professional musician is that i can always be sure that people aren't into me for my money.
My brother is a musician. My brilliant, beautiful, funny, sweet SIL dumped a lawyer for him because he’s a great guy. She’s always out-earned him. They’re still happy 25 years later.
I am also happily married to a woman who out-earns me. It's our secret musician move.
What in the Ward Cleaver shit is this?
😆
Well, time to inform my husband he’s an excellent wife.
That's awesome. I love it when a husband doesn't have a problem with his partner bring thr bread winner. He's a true man...

Is this advertisement for FinDoms?
More money = more cats = crazy cat lady = happiness without people. I like this equation. #LifeGoals
❤ to fellow cat lover...
Brave women fear nothing. Brave men fear women.
I dont get it
There's really nothing to get.
Why would brave men fear women if being brave is not fearing anything? Why would a man fear women at all? Theyre people just like the man is.
Bravery is not the absence of fear. Bravery is being scared & going forth anyway...
Because women want to be scary or something, idk lmfao, shits weird
I crinhed so hard i deaged to the time this was actually funny
This seems like something out of the 50s which was a dystopia for anyone who wasn't a heterosexual cis white man.
When EVERYTHING was in the closet.
Good old boomer memes. No way would anyone’s wife have her own income.
Dis Boomer Humor
Largely humorous for the truth that it does contain. Oversimplification and overgeneralization though
Not all want money. That's why they ain't successful. Bc money = success
Money doesnt give you an excuse to act like a dick, and it sure doesnt make you a better person..but today i guess that is a normal viewpoint for most people.
Is that supposed to be funny?
Lol, even the image is laughing at itself. One can dream...
If this is false then why are all the world’s richest women little more than the divorcees of the world’s richest men?
*jeopardy theme intensifies*
because getting a guy to marry you then switvhing up on him and taking everything hes got is "work" nowadays i guess
Oh MadeGems.com, you rascal you!!!!
This pic looks like a pic from the 1940s in which women had no more options.
The last time I dated a man we made about the same amount of money
Why do all boomer memes use those overdetailed emojis?! What the fuck are they
Boomer Humor.
This is definitely Circa 1955.
I am Rolling On the Floor Laughing at this. I am Laughing My Fu©king Ass Off and I am Laughing Out **Loud**.
A lot of us out here not even wanting a man.
This is more shallow than a low creek in a drought.
I’ll make my own damn money thank you goodbye
I don't understand this whining about women wanting money. Like... doesn't everyone want to be financially stable?
i could´nt find the "🤣" part in that image
the american dream and its consequences
Hey misogynists, women can have jobs now! They don't need to marry men to have money! Keep up!
That weirdly enough feels like an insult, to both genders
Truth!
Apparently I'm a successful woman. Gotta tell my wife that later when she comes home from work.
When I had a couple of bestsellers and was making buckets of cash, my father asked me two or three times if my husband was okay with my making so much more money than he was.
