Do men feel threatened if their wives make more?

I don’t get the notion that if a woman is earning and holds a high position she somehow has a desire stick it to opposite sex. In professional world everyone strive for excellence and works hard to achieve high goal. So why demonize women for achieving success?
Societal concepts (read gender roles) are always fluid and they change with time. It is the fault of individuals who fail to recognize the changing times and whine about how things are “suppose" to be.

Societal concepts arise because of social and biological necessities. Women desire rich and powerful men because 50,000 years ago, that meant that your children survived. Men want attractive women because, again, 50,000 years ago, this provided a greater chance for a successful birth.

Women are perfectly entitled to earn as much as they can, just don’t be surprised if they find that the pool of desirable mates (men who earn roughly as much as they do) is much smaller.

Here’s a happy thought, humans will probably end up wiping each other out before we adapt to current “norms”.
