Lets first identify the problem.

A culture whose primary motivation for almost everyone is materialism which takes money.

A lot of this is driven by a culture where the more financially successful a woman is the more successful her male partner must be. This is do the fact that women on the whole still expect their male partners to make more money than they do.

It is basically not acceptable in America for a woman to make more money than her male partner. Now of course there are exceptions but far and away the pressure is on the man to bring home more of the bacon.

So when he doesn’t it becomes extemely stressful for him especially if his female partner is not sensitive to what he is growing through without trying to mother him.

The way to solve this problem is for women to start taking sensitivity classes and being more in tune with how their male partners are feeling as a result of being unemployed and to a great extent feeling hopeless about future employment opportunities
