That alone is the reason women go out and get jobs. They could sit at home and play housewife (nothing wrong with that) but instead they want to take charge of there own life and not rely on a man for dinner at night.
Some still want to look after their children for example, women certainly get maternity benefits. Women had the power in the home some might say, and that power over children has extended into the modern age (to men's detriment perhaps). So an estranged partner might not be able to see his children, women can carry out an abortion while the partner who contributed half the baby has no say.

I think it is good that there is more freedom for people to do what they want, but ultimately there will be some kind of division of labour because one person can't do everything very easily in a family.

Also you talk about all women like they are all the same, that is wrong. Same if you did that with men.
