CHARBONNEAU – Guys, don’t despair when she earns more than you
THE MALE EGO is attached to being the chief breadwinner. It’s a fictitious remnant of the cave man’s role as hunter and provider.
The stereotype was perpetuated when men returned from World War II and replaced women in industrial jobs.
With the decline of industrial jobs in North America, and with more women getting a post-secondary education, women are positioned to move into professional jobs. Over the past four decades, full time jobs have increased for women while decreasing for men.
Not just men who have lost industrial jobs worry.
I was going to write a column about Omar Khadr’s award of $10.5 million by the Canadian government but I don’t have much more to say than I did in my column, nine years ago, in the Kamloops Daily News.
