This reminds me of a girl in one of my teacher education classes(I have a certification that I've never used because software engineering pays way better and was easier to break into back in '09). We were talking about teacher pay and she mentioned that since she was going to have her husband support her she didn't see any reason to campaign for a higher salary, which was pretty inflammatory for just about the entire rest of the class.
