As someone born in the 90s, it does seem like I was born in the "rubble" of a great societal shift from the family to the individual as the atomic unit of evaluating someone's societal stature. Although this shift has had benefits, it made the role of a housewife that of a worthless dependent. I'm not at all lamenting that this is a bad thing. Women should obviously be able to pursue careers the same way as men.
However, it does seem that there is a lag between this change and how society is organized. There are some facts that are hard to ignore:
1. Raising young children without help is a lot of work.
2. Somebody needs to cook. Ordering 3 meals a day from a restaurant is unaffordable for most. There is also a trust/perception issue that "outside food" is not as good as homemade food.
3. If you work a full-time job you can give very little time for anything else.
Some major societal change needs to occur that invalidates one of these three points.
