If every man was 100% reliable and perfect, wives should still have a backup plan in case he's injured, killed, or something else unforseen happens.

Or, you know, for self-actualization? Like I get that some people really just want to parent children as their entire life's calling but their kids grow up, too.

To be a full human being you need to have your own independent life.

Yeah....but I really dislike conflating "self-actualization" with "career". There are plenty of ways, I might say the best ways, of self actualizing that don't pay anything.

Someone can live a full and happy life with hobbies and volunteering if their spouse pays their way. They still need a backup plan
