Again, broad claims, but based on what?
> Having no career advancement is sometimes like not having cancer: a net positive.
I have never heard anyone express or imply that. I don't doubt you feel that way, but is there any evidence that it's widespread?
> Most people have no career at all, they retire on the same job (just more "senior") they started with.
That is almost certainly not true. I believe the evidence says that the great majority switch jobs many times and switch careers several times.
> a stay at home wife was traditionally not isolated from society
I've heard otherwise from homemakers of prior generations - the isolation was one of their primary complaints. And I'm pretty sure I've read about research showing the same. What makes your narrative true?
