The article from the Forbes website was a little disturbing, especially the one written from the point of view of Michael Noer, who advised men to not marrying a woman with a career because "If a host of studies are to be believed, marrying these women is asking for trouble." He then goes on to talk about the downsides of marrying a woman who has a job, including "you'll be unhappy if she makes more money than you do". First of all, he needs to get over his male ego. If the biggest issue here is who's bringing home the bigger paycheck, than men need to take a step back and reexamine their argument. The author writes that women who work have a higher chance of meeting a coworker they like more than you. Well if you're so worried about you're spouse leaving you that you don't want him or her to work, try being NICE to him or her! You can't keep women from working just because you're afraid that they'll leave you for a coworker.
