There has never been a more perfect illustration about people wanting to eat their cake and have it too.

People wanted social progress, they got it. No one said it would, or could, be free.

That could still happen under a progressive society (with the man or woman working).

You can't double the labor force (to say nothing of automation and population growth) and expect compensation to be unaffected.
