No One Feels This Way
CNBC shared a tweet saying that millennial women are worried and ashamed of out-earning their boyfriends or husbands, meaning, they rather get paid less than their spouses in order to avoid feeling worried or ashamed about challenging traditional gender norms. We’re going to call bull, but Rebecca Serle beat us to it.
She re-tweeted the original tweet with the caption, “no one feels this way give us more money.” Why would women feel worried or ashamed about earning more money than their spouses? This is 2022, people. Women are just as smart and capable as men, and there’s no reason why they shouldn’t be paid accordingly.
