It would seem to me that although on the surface it may seem that there is some sort of repressive sexism going on here, that simple economics can explain it all. The year-end bonus is a very powerful form of behaviour conditioning and it would seem that the husbands have seen its power in their workplace lives and are simply using it as a tool to maximize their childrens opportunities And finally, who are we (or anyone) to judge these women's choices? It's not like these were arranged marriages or that they were sold to these men. In fact, it would seem to me that they were, and still are, competing for them with their advanced degrees and Flywheel exertions It's just a somewhat unfortunate fact that we live in a world where money pretty much rules all, and these woman understand this and have made the choices necessary to make sure they are on the right side of the pile.
