Females began to work and did not need a man to provide for them, so this started the trend of women getting married later in life, and in turn delaying their child bearing stages. One of the greatest cliches that exists is the one that a woman who is successful career wise is not capable of having a successful relationship with her partner and her children because she is not a stay at home mom taking care of everything in the household. Men, on the other hand, are capable of balancing a successful career and family life. So then the conclusion that many people have arrived at is that successful women have dysfunctional families, which is a strained relationship between a parent and offspring. The truth is quite the contrary though because women are able to have the best of both worlds, for example the current president of Argentina Cristina Fernandez was married to her husband for more than thirty years until he suffered a devastating heart attack and she also has two children.
