Yes, the men I know with this attitude either want their wife to work for social status reasons or because they think it's the only way for her to pull her weight. I don't respect either position.

We also have a friend whose husband is a great stay at home dad, but is not out of work entirely by choice. I think she pities him slightly, which I sort of get, but I wish she could more easily focus on the value of what he's doing.

Dual Income vs Home Production

I have always expressed to my wife and others that I could not be where I am nor our family what it is without her. She has always worked. Some was in the home some outside the home. I have no time for men that do not respect the work of their wife. Its a sign of weakness to me.
