Earning a living typically is putting your family needs first. That’s why men earn a living too. My wife was widowed at age 28 with a son she had to raise on her own. She provided a good life for him by being a good provider, which included her managing people.

Well it is how God himself created us to be. That is a tough authority to challenge imo so I don’t.

According to you and uhh…

Well I’d say not even God Himself. Why would God give so many women great intelligence and aptitude for science, art, medicine, and mathematics? Why give women skills suited to management or trade jobs? Why make them strong enough to serve in armies or command them? Seems like a waste of skill, one that would inevitably make their quality of life much lower.

I’m not saying having no women make a better workforce. Clearly when half the population is not participating talent will be left out. However humans aren’t ordered towards work and careers, we are ordered towards God.
 
Because it is how God created man and woman. I think it is better for humanity to follow God’s will to humanity than our own. That’s how I feel on the matter. Clearly we disagree.

We disagree on the will of God because there’s no logical reason to create someone with desires they are not meant to fulfill. Unless, of course, God is an evil God trying to torture all women of aptitude?

I didn’t say they weren’t bosses.

Also, the woman the VP embarrassed, was a good manager. Most of her employees liked her.
 
Great, then we’re all on the same page. Sorry if I jumped to a wrong conclusion; given some of the other stuff that gets posted on this forum about women, I get a little bit gun-shy sometimes.

Except the item you linked I admitted I did not know and told others to correct if I was wrong. You are just trying to slander and discredit me. . . .

It serves to show that you have a lot of notions that aren’t necessarily true.
 
this kind of thinking has crept everywhere, i was literally in a rosary night the other day and one guy int eh group says essentially this. “i’m fine with competing with females for a job, but why would any man want to compete with their wife for a salary?” then he followed up with “i really have to wonder, if a woman think about having a career, then does she actually really even want to be a mother?” seriously? facepalm

and it finally hit me, i realized why i have always struggled with this kind of thinking and what the problem is. society, and even many christians, have got the idea all wrong. work and even education is not a competition, it was never meant to be, we are supposed to work together, both sexes, to serve others and advance the kingdom of God, harmoniously, it’s not about lording power and authority over the other. the same goes for marriage as well. now different people will accomplish this in different ways based on their skills and god-given talents and family circumstances. to the op, if you struggle with this kind of thing, as i have, i suggest you read the writings of pope st. john paul II, i personally believe he is the one pope who managed to develop the best theology on this sort of thing
 
I think that guy does bring up a good point. How can can a man legitimately provide for his family if he is competing with his wife. Also a women motivated by career will be less likely to want a family. That would definitely be a concern for me and many other men I know.
 
Marriage is not a competition though. It’s about cooperation. Why do you think you are in competition with your wife?

Your ability to be a good provider isn’t dependent on how well or how badly she can earn a living. Two people with the ability to earn good money is no worst than a couple with one good earner and one without any marketable skills.

It’s totally your choice if you want to marry a woman with diminished earning capacity because you don’t want to be in competition with her. The reason is why? Is provider the only thing you can bring to the marriage table? Husbands and fathers are so much more to a marriage than being breadwinners.

By the way, even if a woman has good earning ability, that does not mean she is incapable of putting her family first.

If a woman is career oriented it means she will be less likely to have a family. A woman can not advance her career if she gets pregnant often. And seeing as how Catholics need to remain open to life this is not likely to be the case. It is a major red flag.
 
My worries would lie with who is raising her children? I think children should be raised by their parents not a nanny.
 
Once again you assume that all women with good earning skills are not interested in marriage and family.

Take for example my mother. She has a Masters degree in Finance. She was also a stay at home mom. She was able to use her skills to manage the family money and invest wisely. She did so well that my father was able to retire early.

Now they travel the world together.
 
That is different. That makes perfect and complete sense to me. @Sarcelle

but that’s just the problem, he’s not competing with his wife, no husband should be. we really need to move away from this kind of perception, our jobs are not competitions nor are our marriages
