    The entry point is about women, who previously primarily filled the role of housewives, entering the workforce. Since then, the share of people going to work practically doubled, but the working hours did not decrease, so capitalists got twice as much labor, and as it became harder and harder to lead a family on a single income, they essentially just exploited that extra labor for free.

      OK I understand what you mean now.

      Right wing hijacked women’s right to work turning it into women’s necessity to work for ever increasing mortgage/rent with half of it being siphoned off into childcare.

      No more could a household rely on a single bread-winner.
