I think you're in violent agreement with the thread.

They are saying that post WW2 there was a boom that made SAHM a possibility for people it hadn't been before, and that combined with a reactionary push against the changes that had happened during WW2 meant that things regressed further than they had been in the 30s, as an enforced fantasy.

So before WW2 there had been a whole range of approaches, things loosened up during WW2, and then afterwards there was a push back into an "ideal" state, which affected things for a long time afterwards.

Which seems to be lining up with what you're saying.
