Women who are educated are better able to afford housekeeping help and therefore, can spend more quality time with their families. Unfortunately, the more right wing one moves, the less desire there is for education. If the cycle we live in continues, the next generation will not have parents wealthy enough to support the ‘learning lifestyle’.
When did making a living become unacceptable for the male population. I always understood that in the Ketubah, the husband is supposed to support his wife, to provide her with all her needs.
