You keep missing the point. Women traditionally worked low paying jobs, like housekeeper or nanny. The increased participation of women in the workforce mean that women now work higher paying jobs. It does not mean that that someone has gotten more real pay for the same job. The numbers you linked to on worked hours still hasn't had meaningful change since the '80s. If your point is that things got better until the '70s or '80s but not since, well then I agree with your point. But like I said there are of course many factors, like men are probably working less hours, but on the other hand underemployment has gone up.
