Study: women prefer full-time motherhood to a paid job

Many of the social changes that have occurred in Western society over the last few decades have been initiated in the belief that men and women are pretty much the same psychologically and that any seeming differences are mainly due to socialization. Women have been encouraged to value work outside the home as much as men do, and there have been many affirmative action policies put in place to ensure equality of outcome in this area.

So now we have a situation in which most women have to work whether they like it or not. Yet there's more and more evidence to show that most of them don't like it. It's all quite ironic when you think about it.

Turning back the clock on four decades of feminism, a study has found nearly two-thirds of women would love to find a husband with a bigger pay packet than theirs so they can care for their children full-time.
