Does having a stay-at-home wife cause a man to get "creeping traditionalism"?

Evidently, some wives resent this.

Warner herself interviewed opt-out women and found creeping traditionalism among their relationships as well. “Once they gave up work,” she says, they went from “being their husbands’ intellectual equals into the one member of their partnership uniquely endowed with gifts for laundry or cooking and cleaning.”

My opinion of these wives' opinions:

“Opt-Out Generation”: the women who got prestigious degrees and high-powered jobs and then left it all behind to be stay-at-home mothers.

Prestigious degrees and high powered jobs are not womanly traits. There should be a sticky telling men to avoid women with these things attached to their names.

Many tweeted about how terrible the husbands seem. While in the end all three women ended up with husbands who just want them to be home, do the laundry and be happy about it, they didn’t start out that way. It seems that opting out changed their relationships, mostly for the worse.

So their husbands are terrible people for letting them stay at home and not work? Something wrong here.

He tells Warner he wishes his wife would take on picking up around the house, doing laundry and cleaning. Carrie Chimerine Irvin at first felt she had struck an “unstated bargain” that her husband would earn and she would care for children, but found that he also seemed to think that “the couple’s mutual mess was now seen as her concern.” Even after she reduced her work schedule, Sheilah O’Donnel found herself in nasty fights with her husband over laundry and childcare, and her husband told her, “All this would be easier if you didn’t work.” She dropped out to care for kids, but when she decided to get a job with a nonprofit to boost her self-esteem, it was the final straw in their marriage. “Once she started to work, she started to place more value in herself, and because she put more value in herself, she put herself in front of a lot of things—family, and ultimately, her marriage,” her husband said.

What the hell? 'unslated bargain'? Thats what marriage is to an american woman. Her husband should have chosen wisely, a woman raised to be in a natural supporting role not forefront of a family. Women today seem to think they are also men.

Simple solution, don't marry american women. There are plenty of 3rd world women who are saving themselves for marriage and know their responsibilities and roles as women.

Who the hell wants to marry an 'intellectual equal'. Isn't that what gay marriage is for?
