(24,411 posts)First off--I was not making social commentary about "women being equal partners" in their marriage or
about equal pay either.
Secondly--Just because, in some marriages, men primarily handle the finances--that does not make an "unequal
marriage." I handle the finances in our marriage. Our marriage surely isn't "unequal." We both have our
strengths and our particular interests and shared responsibilities are divided. I've got plenty of friends in marriages
and their husbands primarily handle the finances. Different scenarios work for different couples.
With all of this said--I think you're missing the point. That these criminal banksters cheated a woman (and the
deceased spouse) out of services/insurance that were paid for.
If you actually believe that denying women equal pay is justified (on your planet)--because their husband primarily handles
the finances--then that is warped. According to your logic, in marriages where women primarily handle the finances--men
should be paid less. That's wacko.
