“阿尔法老婆”VS 花瓶老婆

靠女人赚钱曾被视为对男性自尊的打击，但是随着“阿尔法老婆”越来越多，社会成见已经慢慢改变。在经济不景气的形势下，家有“阿尔法老婆”也是一件让人庆幸的事情。

"Alpha-wives" emerge when more than 50 percent of all households in the USA have a woman as its prime "breadwinner"。

       如今美国超过半数的家庭中，女人才是主要的经济支柱，这样的女人就是“阿尔法老婆”。

Sociologist Catherine Bartlett says the alpha-wife has begun to replace the so-called trophy wife. " The trophy wife was wanted for her youth, beauty, and body. She earned nothing on her own and truthfully wasn't someone who was sought after for her brains. The alpha-wife is desired for her intelligence and her power as a top money earner. She's independent and savvy. Her looks, though certainly visible, are secondary."

       社会学家卡瑟琳·巴特莱特说，阿尔法老婆已经开始取代所谓的花瓶老婆。“男人想从花瓶老婆那里得到的是青春、美貌和身体。她自己不挣钱，说实话男人也不是因为她有脑子才追求她的。男人想得到阿尔法老婆则是因为她聪慧，而且很能挣钱。她既独立又精明。虽然阿尔法老婆长相也不差，但相貌并不是男人选择她的首要原因
