1. There will be an income gap until as many men stay home with the young children as women do. Most women will choose to be with the kids instead of work? Who wouldn't? And they will make the final decision, not the man. So this is unlikely to ever change.I don't accept this premise at all. There is still an income gap b/w men and women and we still far fewer female COO's than male. And women while a woman's job is held while on maternity leave, they have a much harder task making up for the time they where gone and not ascending the corporate ladder. In my career many people I work with had NO idea I had three kids...meaning it had ZERO impact on my career. Try doing that as a woman. Women continue to pay a higher price for bringing children into the world - something everyone agrees is a societal necessity.
And what tax breaks do women get? Do you mean to begin a business?
And no woman I've ever met regarded a man's role as merely to fertilize an egg than to get lost. ..I'm not sure if you're being serious or just trying to be provacative.
2. The COO issue goes to that 1% group, that I'm not discussing here, because that's another world.
3. Yes, women get tax breaks such as starting businesses. And fund raising events, etc.
4. I didn't say the woman wanted the man to get lost, but they commonly do.
