I am glad that women have made strides in terms of what they are and aren't able to do in the workplace, but rather than count their wins and broaden their perspective, the modern feminists continue to harp on issues that many have long since moved on from
I think its important to recognize that the push for "women in the workplace" was not some completely organic social-justice movement. It was instead a direct response to fiat inflation - the average family simply demanded 2 earners.
I'm willing to bet if you overlaid "women in the workplace" chart over an M2 money supply chart there would be a very strong correlation. (ie. its another WTF happen in 1971 data series).
Completely anecdotal: However in my professional / friends / family circle, I would guesstimate that 60+% of all the "women with careers" that I know would drop those careers if their husbands suddenly got a 2x or 3x increase in salary.
