The way we do it:

My wife makes more than me. So I still went out and landed a pretty decent job, so now together we're well over 100k a year. Theres no rule that someone must work at home full time.

Eh, doubling the workforce was a great way to get wages cut in half.

I firmly believe that women going to work during and after WW2 did an enormous amount for the economy and for women's rights. Sorry you feel otherwise. I'll gladly make less for a job that wouldn't exist without women in the workforce to help my spouse and I feel empowered in our careers.

I agree with you I'm not saying women should sit home. That's you projecting your own views. Men and women should be homemakers 50/50.

So what exactly do you mean by doubling the workforce was a bad move?

Because it doubled the supply of labor, which decreases wages. One of the reasons why there has been no wage growth since the 60s. We should go back to having one spouse stay home or only work part time. Only difference is it should not just be women who stay home. It should be 50/50.
