'Women are more controlling financially'

Nomte, a KZN listener shared an interesting perspective that she felt that it would be easier for women to pack up their belongings and move for their man than it would be so the other way around and that women would be more controlling if they had the responsibility to financially take care of their partner.
Her thoughts sparked a conversation that has become a reality in the world where we live in. The societal expectations that men are breadwinners and they have the responsibility to provide are no more. In fact, we are seeing more and more women who are leading their households in every respect. Traditionally speaking, the idea of women being the breadwinner is still a taboo which leads to the skepticism of whether or not men would be able to handle their spouse 'bringing home the bacon' so to speak and being the primary caregiver for the children.
