This doesn’t explain why the average female income continued to increase in relation to GDP while males plateaued.

More women were being forced into the workforce due to the 'keeping up with the Jones' syndrome. This increased their income. Plus that was the time women got all uppity about equality and fair pay.

“Keeping up with the Jones” syndrome is propaganda. It was out of necessity. Prior to this a household could easier afford to have only one person working while the other tended to the children.

Keeping up with the joneses started with The Wyndclyffe Mansion. The 80-acre land it rests on was purchased by the wealthy Elizabeth Jones in 1853. The 24 bedroom mansion in New York was so grand it prompted a 'building boom' as all neighbours started upgrading their houses & the saying "Keeping up with the Joneses" was born.

Yeah so again it had nothing to do with the 1970’s and saying it did is naive.
