It could have had something to do with women desiring independence.
I want women to be able to work because I want the women in my life to not be caught under the thumb of an abuser. If it harms families somehow, that is a separate problem, with separate solutions that do not have anything to do with restricting the independence of women.
>Especially since women are paid nearly half as much as men across nearly every industry.
This is not true when comparing the price of the same labor offered by a man or woman.

Okay, maybe not HALF, but you can't argue with the gender wage gap. Men make ~20% more than women.
This is so disingenuous it really shouldn't be repeated. The pay gap within the same job is miniscule. Men and women make different career choices. There's just no accounting for the lack of women applying for high-paying positions as roughnecks.
