It is dogmatism. Just look at the propaganda from the 50s and 60s. And all the way to today, it is less cheesy but nonetheless propagandist: schools educating boys and girls to get jobs, encouraging girls to be more ambitious, campaigns to get women in industries they are not interested in, and to fight for equal pay. Add to that how politically incorrect the comments I made are. If that is not a dogma, I don't know what is.

"the tendency to lay down principles as incontrovertibly true, without consideration of evidence or the opinions of others"

So you're saying that the general progression away from the patriarchy wasn't evidence-based?

Even where it is not strictly necessary for women to work having women in the workforce can be an economic advantage. For instance it is plausible that the increasing proportion of women in work since the 1950s has contributed as much to Norway's economy as the oil.
