I don't think this was intentional. By simply stealing with inflation and taxes this all happens as a happy accident.
The women even rationalize it for you because they are forced into ego defense that the choice to enter the workforce is good for them.
I don't think all women need to be unemployed and dependent on the men in their lives. I also don't think forcing women to work to patch a hole in the family budget after an armed robbery is good.
Sexist to make this about women too. I'd much rather be a stay at home parent than my wife. We're both forced to work though.
Remember that before factories most men were around the family property all day most days just like their wives. The 1950s are only the true standard of human history if you let boomers write the narratives about their childhood rose colored glasses. How has boomer leadership treated us so far? Do you really want to let them set the standards?
