It doesn't even take propaganda. All it takes is the raising of prices for goods, services, homes, etc, while also purposely and purposefully stagnating, or in some cases lowering wages to a point where a single income family can no longer afford to survive even if they apply for govt bennies.
This was what the 70's and very early 80's was all about. I remember my mother staying home with me until I went to pre-K. She went to work until she got prego with my brother. Stayed home until he was 6 mths old, then went back to work because we could no longer afford food AND fuel. I remember my parents arguing over what to buy: food to eat, or fuel for Dad to go to work. So, she did what every other struggling family did and went back to work. And we still struggled throughout my entire youth. I even began working at 13, doing yard work, lawnscapes, and handy-man type chores around my neighborhood just so they wouldn't need to give me any money or spend anything on me.
There is an economic element to this too. If we are to believe the family in that photo is being raised by that woman then we need to realize the bread winner would need to be making $200,000+ to support them. Very few people can possibly achieve that.
The whole "it takes two incomes to have a family" lie is pretty easy to reveal if you look at how the size of houses people would be satisfied with increased, and the "hidden" costs of mothers working are included in the equation (daycare, wardrobe, meals out, etc.)
You pegged it; people think the $200 sneaker life is what they need and should strife for. My son was able to buy a foreclosure home for $52,000? in Binghamton, NY area. He had to do some minor work on it, most notably the gas furnace, but fortunately, he knew someone who knew how to work on such things, so he only had to pay for some new fittings and such. It's a 2BR one bath place in one of the old "factory neighborhoods". He is a little unusual because he worked after college and lived like a pauper while saving money. He worked less than three years and then was offered a layoff package (same time he wanted to leave) and was able to pay cash for the house. He now has a first child and his wife doesn't work outside the house (plenty of work when you have a child at home :) ). He is working as a classroom aide in the public school system, so he isn't even making a real income, but is doing it for the health insurance coverage. I am trying to get him to start a "real" job (he has a degree in engineering!) so he can be financially stable (I don't see the minimal amount he is making now to be a long-term financial situation). Of course, having no mortgage is a big part of it, but others could do the same thing with a job that pays middle-class wages. If someone lives in an area with outrageous home prices, then they should consider a move to an affordable area. Even with a lower salary, the lower home prices in many areas would offset the lower income.
Look at the names of all the early Feminists. There was an agenda to destroy the Christian nuclear family.

Yeah, let's stop blaming the women so exclusively. My dad pushed my mother to work. Let's not forget the brainwashing worked on the men, too.
Right now, the feminist movement is crumbling. Just like everything that lefties touch, they went too far and it suicided itself.
The Rockefeller empire. Demons.

Billie Jean King vs Bobby Riggs. Woman vs Man = evil propaganda bullshit.
Now Hollywood makes stuff showing several men getting whipped by I skinny girl.
Yet, in the real world, that doesn’t happen.

Was it propaganda or was is devaluation of the dollar?
