"Leaning in" may mean "living without"? In his NYT article, Breadwinning Wives and Nervous Husbands,Richard H. Thaler --professor of economics and behavioral science -- cites data that says women making higher earnings may be bad for marital bliss. (6/2/13).

Add in the child-care conundrum, and career ladies face preposterous pressures.
