Though now, 40% of women say they are the primary source of income in their household, women still generally make less than that of men.

Women are paid 75% cents to the dollare compared to men. The positions in the workforce held by women are less valued then the positions held by men, and therefore paid less. Why does the value of a job decrease when held by a woman? How far have we really come?

They interviewed a family, the wife/mother, the breadwinner and the stay at home dad. Is the idea of the breadwinning female so off the wall that we have to have an episode of 60 Minutes on it, only because a man is involved on the opposite end? Many families are headed by single mothers, forced to become the primary source of income for many reasons we may not know, but the media tends to overlook it all the time.

It seems the media only sheds light on something that up and coming when it invovles the feelings and reactions of a man. This goes back to the norms of our society being male identified, centered, and dominated (yet, another thought for a future blog).
