When women earn more…

I found this article (http://msn.match.com/msn/article.aspx?articleid=7706) about a women who earns alot of money and how for a long time she had a hard time finding someone that can really accept and appreciate her for who she is. it’s funny how it’s okay for a man to earn more money than womam but when woman make more then it’s some how seen to be shamful or something we as a society don’t accept very well. In this article, the woman speaks about an incident that happened on her first date with this guy that she was very attracted to. Long story short, but he saw her shoes and asked her how much she paid for them; in an effort of being modest she replied as if she didn’t remember. however her persisted on knowing how much these pair of shoes coast her and finally she told him it was $400. from that response he decided that she was not somebody that he would consider dating because just the pair of shoes she was wearing coast more than half his rent and surely she was too expensive for him. needless to mention these are the pair of shoes that SHE bought for her self with her own hard earned money; so why should she hide that or even feel ashamed for getting the things that she enjoys with her hard earned income? i don’t understand how women are subjected to the double standerd role in just about everything that we do. not saying that all men are against women that out-earn them as equally presented by a man who dates women who out-earn him (http://msn.match.com/msn/article.aspx?articleid=8785) however, i am raising the question on how women have to live under these double standerds that are set both by men and women that they who set it can’t even live by them.
