Women Charge Ahead At Work, While Men Lag Behind: Reports

Article here. Excerpt:
'Forget the politics of the so-called war on women. When it comes to their careers anyway, women seem to be winning.
Two stories Monday highlight women's rise in the workplace. CNNMoney is the latest news outlet to discover that more men are staying home to take care of their children. Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal on Monday asserts that "More Women Are Primed to Land CEO Roles."
In the CNN story, reporter Jessica Dickler writes that "a growing number of dads... are staying home with the kids." The story cites statistics from the Census showing that 32 percent of fathers with a wife in the workforce took care of their children at least one day a week in 2010, an increase from 26 percent in 2002.
CNN's hardly the first to discover that more fathers are staying home. Time's March cover story "The Richer Sex," claimed that "women are overtaking men as America's breadwinners." In January BusinessWeek ran a cover story entitled "Behind Every Great Woman," which took a deep dive into female corporate executives married lives. To rise to the top, the article concluded, female executives need supportive husbands who are willing to take a backseat to their wives' ambitions.'

Female financial responsibility
I believe we will have reached true equality when women are forced to assume financial responsibility for men and children and when men are relieved of financial responsibility for women and children.
Women can start paying for dates, supporting their husbands, paying child support and alimony, and, of course, losing their kids in a divorce because they're the "primary breadwinner" and he's the "primary caretaker." I bet "no-fault" divorce ends as soon as men start demanding women pay the man to divorce her.
If men can't find jobs--or it's easier for a woman to find a job--then it will difficult for men to survive without the help of a woman and it makes no sense to force a man to pay child support (for example) if he can't find a job.
