Women have been working outside of the home before ww2... Maybe not an enormous number, but the thought of ohhh no woman worked before blah blah is bs. Plenty did!

You mean the opportunity cost of not working for money individually. Women have always worked, usually for a family business.

Yes, there are opportunity costs associated with women working, particularly in terms of raising children. However, I'm not advocating every woman go out and work. What I am saying is that it's clearly a boon in terms of productivity, it isn't merely a wash as some are claiming.

Do you think everyone uses paper plates on holidays because women are lazy now that they all work outside the home? Serious question, I’ve observed SO many paper plates being used!

A better rhetoric is: "can wages made by women entering into the workforce ever make up for the lost labor value at home?" There is no trend that shows this is the case.

Let's get the kids working too. And the elderly. Think of the opportunity cost, people!
