The financial value of man-care

[rebelmouse-image 24749406 original_size="226x170" expand=1]This story from the BBC is interesting (hat tip): researchers found that men that agreed that women were inferior and should stay at home taking care of men instead of going out and doing for themselves made more money than egalitarian men. The study couldn't have dipped into younger men for this study---they were tracking the same group of people from ages 14-22 in 1979 until now, making the target group ages 45-53. Being a sexist pig was lucrative for men, to the tune of $8500 a year more than the pro-feminist men. The researchers noted a small gain in salary for feminist women---$1500 over non-feminist women---which says to me that non-feminist women are usually working even if they think it's wrong and bad, probably because they have to.
