This will probably wind up going way to far and becoming overrestrictive, but at another level seems like natural reflexive response to oversexualization of the last couple of decades.
There is an interesting trend in society where gender roles and norms converge (so become more similar) alongside sex becoming more free and open.
When gender roles diverge, sex becomes more restricted and the differences between men and women are more enforced by society and communicated through culture.
Part of it is economic. In times that are very good (for the working class), usually there is enough for 1 partner (usually the woman) to stay home. When times are bad, both partners need to work, thus overlapping their spheres of living.
Peter Turchin is an academic who has written about this the last few years with data from the GFC of 2008. Interesting stuff.
