    “I feel like in today’s society, women who don’t work are bucking the convention we were raised with … Why can’t we just be girls? Why do we have to be boys and girls at the same time?”

This is what I've always seen as a major problem. Yes, many fields are dominated by men, but why should it be necessary for women to have to "be" men to succeed? Also, I think that in many Western countries people lose sight of the fact that they are not their jobs. Too many people live to work. What's the point of having money if you're not going to use it to live well? Not only that, but these houses left empty for long stretches of the day, only inhabited when people are done interacting with the outside world due to fatigue are likely a reason why many people don't know their neighbors or feel a sense of community, in my view.
