Your last comment is irrelavant though, it isn't how you feel about it - it is simply a fact. I could go on..but I don'y want to turn the thread into how feminism is systematically destroying our country...nor will I comment on equal pay..or voting rights...that is civil rights and has nothing to do with feminism. But getting back to the point..feminism strongly encouraged women to get out in the world..go your own way, earn your own money...so in less than a decade, the workforce dramatically increased, and like anything else when there is an abundance of it..costs drop. Just FYI - not to say a woman can't or shouldn't work outside the home..just stating the facts ma'am.
