Work place culture aside, it's been a financial disaster for men and women both. Before women were shoved into work, a man could make enough money to support a stay at home wife, 3 kids, and a mortgage on a nice house. You could save money too without much debt.
Now we have twice as many people and half as much income. Both parents have to work to pay the bills and spend almost one of their salaries on childcare and other expenses they wouldn't goddamn have if one of them could stay home with the kids. Women are told they can have a good career and be a good mom at the same time. Most don't believe it. That's why they try to marry a rich guy and quit their job, or they stay single or childless to focus on work. Women who prioritize motherhood are almost always happier.
I know there are a lot of other factors involved, inflation, globalization, etc, but women entering the workforce is one of the biggest reasons work sucks for everybody.
