Don't quite understand where you are coming from here John..... I am of the opinion that two people doing the same *** should get equal money-regardless of sex... Why should a female consultant of medicine get less than her male colleague?

Now, I appreciate that many men support their famillies, but this is usually the case where the wife is the main carer (and worker) at home.

In my own marriage, there have been times when my husband has been the main earner and other times when I have. While the children are young, we have taken the choice for me to be at home more for the children- it is something that we as a team have decided. I know other famillies where the wife is the one who is the main earner, and the husband is the one at home- should the woman earn less than a male colleague in this scenario?
