Does sexism pay?

The findings are based on recently published research article where the main conclusion is that 'traditional' men will consistently out-earn more 'modern-thinking' men.

So, how does this happen?

Well, two theories are put forward to explain this phenomenon...

1) More traditionally-minded men are interested in power, both in terms of access to resources - money in this case - and also in terms of a woman who is submissive.

2) Employers are more likely to promote men who are the sole earner in preference to those who do not - they recognise that they need more support for their families, because they are the breadwinner.
