In one of the interviews he gave – movie director Aaron Russo recounts being told how womens liberation/feminism was funded by the Rockefeller Foundation in order to get more wage slaves.
"Oh Poor women you are opressed at home with your husband. But you are free if you become a cog in the corporate machine".
As a result the percentage of women in the labor force increased from just 32% in 1948 to 58% now.

As a result the Capitalists could tax more people and prevent wages from increasing too much because within a few decades the workforce increased by around 1/4.
I know a SAHM with a husband that made enough money to finance a house and 3 kids – while she could stay at home.
All the kids moved out by the time she was 50. Now she is 65 and for the last 15 years she has been practically retired. She goes shopping, reads a lot, has almost 0 stress, is arrogant as hell because her husband is wealthy and she enjoys financial security. Also lots of vaccations. By herself and with the husband. She has visited all Museums and cultural facilities within a 50 Mile radius like a dozen times already. And her life is great.
What a miserable life compared to the Woman who have to get up at 6 AM and toil at their job until 5 PM every day and have like 3-4 weeks of vaccation every year. What liberation that is.

I believe this actually.
Why can’t the men stay home while their wives work? What liberation is that?
2 sides to a coin but your lil story a the end is just that, a story. marrying into financial independence isn’t a right
