You Can Take the Woman Out of the Cave...

... but you can't take the cave out of the woman.

Turns out, at least in England, women would prefer the old ways, staying at home with the kids, and sending the hubby out to slay the mammoths and bring home to meat.

Most women still prefer to marry a man who earns more money than they do and would stay at home with their children if they could afford it, according to a survey published yesterday.

Despite years of equality campaigning and advances for women in the workplace, 64 per cent said they aspire to find a husband who brings home a larger pay packet than they do. None wanted to marry a man who earned less.

And they aren't exactly insistent that their provider be more intelligent than they are.

Only 19 per cent wanted their other half to be better educated than they are. Instead 62 per cent said they wanted a man to have the same level of intellect.

Thirty-one per cent thought they were better educated than their other halves, while 19 per cent thought their husbands were better educated.

So guys, just come home, slap the meat up on the table and grunt; she doesn't expect much more from you.
