‘A husband should always earn more than his wife’: Successful Woman Gets Heat From Her MIL After Promotion, Reflects on Female Expectations in the Workplace

Hey there ladies of the inter galaxies online. For all the girlbosses out there slaying the workforce, we have a message for you: keep on keeping on. Amongst the feminist jargon hyping up women to pursue fields that have historically been male dominated, there remains a surprisingly large backlash and outdated, traditional perspectives making their voices heard. 

Though women are entering and succeeding at many male dominated fields, such as engineering, medicine, and science, it's still not easy to be present in this realm of work, to push through the glass ceiling. And even for women who land these types of jobs, it doesn't mean it's a walk in the park for all the while after. They still get different treatment, different wages, and are often discouraged and dejected that contribute to feelings of insecurity and imposter syndrome. So all the women out there working hard and are proud of your jobs, don't let the words confuse or demean you. It doesn't matter if your husband makes more money than you, why would it? Any man should be happy that they have a successful and autonomous wife.
