One of the great modern American myths is the notion that women didn't do any work prior to being yanked out of the home and thrust into the corporate world. Of course, if work is narrowly-defined as only the kinds of productive activity that generate W2 and 1099 forms, then sure, there might be a grain of truth to that myth. But of course, that's not the reality on the ground at all.

Also interesting how women quickly went from being incubators to being "empowered" tax cows and corporate servitors. Today the former is considered to by awfully-awful oppression and the latter is totally "stunning and brave" freedom that should constantly be celebrated and praised. The whole "boss babe" (i.e. woman with masculine, aggressive personality) meme is used to prop up the latter. In reality, a man who has to deal with all sorts of BS for 8+ hours a day at work most certainly does not want to come home to more of that. Women being shamed and gaslist into adopting a competitive demeanor has created the grotesque harpy caricature we all know and not-love today.
