the what now? Are theorizing that women wanting to be more than just a domestic servant and baby factory _devalued_ household earning potential by splitting it

  It pretty clearly did, although not by 100%. That's not a value judgement. It's just a consequence.

    Appreciated, and I'm sure it is _part_ of the equation, but that also would indicate that Capitalism is inherently flawed as it won't allow for maximum expression of profit. Almost as if there was an non-invisible hand that is weighing all that. Western Society injected more labor and there was the same amount of profit to share, or it was captured in a way that prevented fair distribution of profit?

  See Elizabeth Warren’s The Two Income Trap for some exploration of this and related topics. (It’s on my meaning to read for a while now, I have not read it)
