Welcome guys and gals to the men talk show. I'm Connor Beaten and today we are to talk about when women make more money than men in the relationship.

Now, this could probably be a pretty charged topic and subject. And it actually came out of a Q&A session. I did it on Instagram this past weekend. I put up a Q&A for the men and women that

follow me on Instagram and I got over 100 responses, over 100 questions from people. And

unfortunately, I couldn't get through all of them. And there's some really good themes. I'm going to

continue to touch on here on the podcast. But one of the major ones that I was surprised by

was the question and the comment around what to do, how to act, is it okay if women make more

money than men in the relationship? And this wasn't just a question from women. It was also a question

for men. And so I thought that I would dig into this.

And so I spent some time over the past couple of days actually digging into the research

behind this to kind of get some data.

And what immediately stood out to me was the fact that 42% of women are the sole or primary

breadwinners bringing in more than half or more than half of the family earnings.

And that, to me, like, I knew that women had made a lot of progress in terms of, you know, finding their footing in terms of equality, in terms of us as a society and culture, creating more space.

But I didn't know that the metric was actually

that high, whether that's just through my own ignorance or naivete.

I just didn't know.

And so that was the first thing that I came across that kind of struck me as interesting

because you probably don't hear this conversation happen as much as I would think should be happening considering that

42% of women are the primary breadwinners and by the way I'm going to use the word the term

breadwinners because in a lot of the data and the research that I did the actual researchers

use the terminology breadwinner to refer to the person or people who are earning the money

within the household.
