There is no turning back for women. EVER. The 1950s were aberrant, with the ONLY reason so many women were stuck in the house was because they were FIRED from their wartime manufacturing jobs to make room for the men returning from their military service.

Women didn't choose it; it was forced on them. There was nothing "traditional" about women's "roles" then--the roles were an aberration.

Women will simply refuse to marry and be parents before they will ever lose their rights to have their own money.
