That is why never-married childless women outearn their male counterparts, and female corporate directors now outearn their male counterparts.Farrell also lists dozens of careers, including fields of science, where women outearn men. Women simply have more options than men to be primary parents, and many of them exercise that option rather than work long, stressful hours. That is why 57% of female graduates of Stanford and Harvard left the workforce within 15 years of entry into the workforce.This is an option few men have (try being a single male and telling women on the first date that you want to stay home).Blaming men for womens choices is unfair. In fact research shows most men have no problem with their wives outearning them.Research also shows most working dads would quit or take a pay cut to spend more time with kids if their spouses could support the family.Research also shows that parents share workloads more when mothers allow men to be primary parents.ABC News: Is the Wage Gap Womens Choice?
