Bringing women to the labor force was a way of make production factors cheaper. Feminism is a economic ideology. Women were to dumb to understand what was going on.
Same with the wage gap. It will only make men salaries shorter, not the ones of women higher.
"Multiculturalism" is another ideology to make labor cheaper.
It's all about money.
Funny, I saw a video the other day about how the elite were behind the feminist movement so they could get women in the workforce to get more tax dollars and disrupt the family unit. It was pretty interesting.
