-You don't need to be in a single income household to be the breadwinner, it's the person that comes out of pocket the most.
-Women will say shyt like "We both work but he's the breadwinner" because they actually grasp the concept.

Why someone gotta come out the pocket the most? Like do you have to or you choose to? Then it becomes a question of why if you don’t have to.
It’s all about the relationship people choose to be in. In the same way, one can choose to pay for everything or most of everything. There’s no rules is what I’m getting at.

A cac say jump and y’all jump, time to start reaching back into your own mind about thingsBeing the bread winner affords the man a woman who can focus on being a home maker. She gets to spend more time with the children, rather than sending them to daycare. Traditionally the wife handled all the bills and finances of the household. If home responsibilities are managed appropriately by the couple, it also affords the woman more time to making sure she is attractive and sexually available to him.
That's the way its suppose to work, but does it really?
If we can't enjoy the perks, there are none, which is why Western dating is garbage since it's still expected from men "just because".
Breadwinner =/= sole income.
I think this only happened if a man believed or conceded his wife as being smarter than him.Being the bread winner affords the man a woman who can focus on being a home maker.

Not true at all. No smarts are required for paying bills and balancing a household budget. All of it could be done on the back of a checkbook. Savings accounts and CDs use to actually pay good interest rates. If a man held any stocks it was all handled through his broker. Retail trading didn't exist even in the early 2000s .
If you're not good at math you aren't balancing a checkbook. And I don't understand the relevance of a broker, a person trained and qualified to handle stocks, handling them in regards to why a man let's his wife handle the money he earns.

Have you ever balanced a checkbook? It's basic subtraction and addition. Balancing the household budget was considered secretarial work, and beneath a man's capabilities back then. That's like telling a man to be his own secretary. If you think the modern woman isn't capable of balancing a checkbook, thats a different discussion, but it was standard MO for a wife pre-2000.
