FWIW the rise in women working has increased individualism and requirements in men pre-dating, which partially reflects in RE (more individual space, less families).

This doesn't mean women working is the problem, rather we should've thought harder about what measurements should've been taken when introducing women into the workforce. Several countries are now "fixing" this retroactively, though more so to give women a fighting chance rather than actually helping out workers as a whole (e.g. forced paternity leave).
