Linda Hirshman Says (Tertiary Educated) Stay-At-Home Moms Are Wrong

[Phteven]

Anecdotally though she is right about the trend toward tertiary educated women choosing to be SAHMs. In my circle of T.Ed friends I certainly see that it is the case. Interesting.

My guess is that that is partly due the luxury of choice. On the whole people tend to marry people who have similar educational levels and a similar economic standing. As PB pointed out tertairy educated women are more likely to marry men who have the earning capacity to enable them to stay at home.

ETA - *snap* PB

ETA 2 - yep, it must be a US thing to be alarmed because here in Australia we would just be alert
