Flagged.
Please read the context of what I said before the unnecessary name calling.
The OP was trying to cast the issue as a cultural problem, not an economic one, saying that women only work because our culture pressures them to do so (instead of, you know, economic reality.)
My point is that you can’t frame this as an effect of feminism in culture, then also in the same breath say “they have no choice in the matter”. It’s not feminism’s fault that median wage isn’t even close to enough to raise a family comfortably, and that raising kids needs two incomes.

As for OP I actually get the point he is trying to make even if he did did so imperfectly. Often the cultural is mixed with the economic and others. In fact I would suspect that feminism/culture has overall had a bigger effect, probably resulting inadvertently the economic one. Woman overall today probably have a worse deal while actually they _think_ that they have a better deal. They are their own own collective worst enemies. I should add that the government has made the lives of both men and women very difficult through excessive taxation etc, so that the luxury of a single spouse working no longer exists.
