I don't think anyone reasonable would suggest we go back to a time when women had few if any options in terms of their families and careers, but it is hard not to see how an economy based on one breadwinner and one homemaker had many benefits. However, that horse has long since left the barn, in very important ways for the best.
This is a the standard response of the right. We'd all be better off if the women would just stay home. The economy would contract if all of the women stayed home.
Having a "home maker" spouse has always been a luxury of the upper middle class or wealthy. Poor women have always gone out to work, they've never had a "choice". My mother stayed home to raise 6 children, but my parents didn't own a car until everyone was grown up and gone, except me. They raised chickens in the back yard, and grew most of what we ate in our back yard. People don't do that today. They don't have the property, and everyone now has two cars.
