These are the following arguments my thesis supervisor has put forward for why I must complete my doctorate:
"You need to be able to look after yourself. You need to make sure that you never need a man"
"Nobody can take a doctorate away from you. No matter what path you take in life, it's a safety net that you can always fall back on"
"You would be a terrible housewife, can't do a trade and would hate admin. You need to stay in academia for a lack of other options."
"If you end up as a single mum it's a flexible and well paying career"
"Because I said so."
... he keeps me entertained. And probably keeps my partner a little insecure.

Heya Kate
"You need to make sure that you never need a man" Sounds wierd from a thesis supervisor.
Your thesis supervisor might be never need a women in his entire life. If so, sounds wierd too.
Adam and Eve. Man and Women. Always in need.
