I have to agree but ya know the studies tend back up saying it the other way. I think it was Forbes (might have been Fortune) had a article about this a couple years ago. They found that the really successful men often did in fact have a woman who backed their play. She handled family matters, the social arena, personal appointments, vacations, hostessing events, applauding successes and propping him up when things get tough. Successful women on the hand were more likely to be on their own in these matters or relying on a personal assistant. They were less likely to have a family and those events where the successful man has his well dressed wife in the front row applaunding, the married, successful woman's husband is more likely off doing his own thing.
