Another topic we hear is how more women are becoming the breadwinners. I just read an article that talks about how women are in charge of 75% of all financial decisions within marriages. Another survey I read stated 1 in 4 women now say control is very important to them in a relationship from the household finances to their social life. By contrast, nearly three quarters of the men questioned said that control isn't important to them in their relationship. This is a huge societal change. In the same survey, only 9% of women say that their husbands are in charge. Only 9%! So these kinds of discussions are about female superiority and societal evolution, they just choose not to use those terms.
