You're right Mandy and, again, I must say that I completely agree 
with you. Rebecca, neither me nor - as far as I can judge (but it's 
impossible for me to speak for her) Mandy - meant to be offensive. I 
don't believe that a man supporting a woman who is successful in 
whatever she does is or should be a problem for anyone. Unfortunately 
it is sometimes what happens for some men cannot stand such a 
situation, and I suspect Ron being one of them because, as we have 
seen in PS when he, following Harry, looks into the mirror, his 
dreams are those of a person who seeks personnal success (being 
prefect, a great Quidditch player, etc.), perhaps even to the 
detriment of other people (remember his attitude towards Harry in 
GoF ?) . We can understand that he somehow seeks revenge because he 
was living in the shadow of his brothers. But does that mean that he 
will be able to support his wife if HE is not as successful as she 
is ? A least this seems doubtful for me. This is all I meant.
Fortunately I'm just talking about Ron, not men and women in 
general ;-)
See You.
AAm.
