"Harmful stereotypes about women being bad with money are fiction, not fact. Learn where this idea came from and why it’s time to change the narrative.
The stereotype that women are bad with money exists in many subtle and not-so-subtle forms in western societies. But according to the data, this idea is fiction, not fact. And fortunately, things are changing: An increasing number of women are investing, enjoying more wealth, and becoming more financially confident. It’s time to put the negative stereotypes in the past — where they belong.
To understand where the stereotype comes from, we first need to look at the history of women and work. During the 19th century, most women in middle- and upper-class households in the west weren’t employed, though many working-class women had no choice but to earn a meager living in the factories. However, during World War I and World War II, millions of women entered the workforce to fill the roles left by men sent to war — although their wages were significantly lower.
At the end of World War II, women had proven that they’re capable of occupying more positions than ever before. But in much of the world, the idea that the woman’s role was in the home persisted, largely keeping money in the hands of men. Progress was being made — but slowly. When the EU was formed, equal pay for both men and women was one of its founding principles. Yet as recently as the ‘60s and ‘70s, many women still had to get a signature from their husband or father before they could secure a bank loan."
I'm not surprised. Just look throughout history and you can see how badly men handled money.
It's projection. Men often spend money on the most useless shit. Don't get me started how men will spend thousands of dollars on nikes, a stupid sports car or something
