That instead of mom going to work resulting in a better standard of living it barely kept families at the same standard of living. Now families with 2 full time workers barely have the standard of living that a single family earner made 40 years ago.
Also very few women can even afford the "choice" to stay home full time anymore. I doubt that was the goal of woman's lib to use the extra labor provided by women to keep wages stagnant over last 30 years.
One could wish that a single income household could have a livable wage ($60K a year) and IF a woman wanted to also work the average income would be $120K ish for 2 income household.
