Oh totally, but I would say it still is, maybe even more so. Now, a single income makes it nearly impossible to do simple things like afford a home. Never do I think women should have to live one way or the other. Ideally, they would have the choice. Some women feel their purpose and fulfillment comes from raising children and would rather stay home with them whereas other women choose to work and in some cases, even become the breadwinner. Women and men both are desperate these days, we all are because our cost of living keeps raising while our purchasing power goes to shit.
