I blame it in Goreans, they're like Randist's, they're opinionated and driven to proselytize way out of proportion to their actual numbers.
Nothing against it, just sayin'.
And, the fact is, working for a living isn't always as rewarding as it may seem, working a job you hate is a lot like... work. I think a lot of women prefer the cocoon, and anti-feminism lends it a patina of respectability, like you're really bucking the trends.
In any case, right wing talk radio provides a steady stream of propaganda in this direction, a multimillion dollar media machine helps.
In any case, social engineering either way is pretty much pissing up a rope here, people adapt to economic conditions because they have to, and women in the workforce help keep wages low, and low wages are typically correlated with low inflation, meaning your big capital formations are pretty happy with women working, and the anti-feminism thing, as media driven phenomena, is largely motivated by the necessity of discouraging women from seeking higher wages and/or management positions.
The usual thing, in other words, the intensity level has just been raised due to the tighter socio-economic conditions - basically, racism has become respectable again for much the same reason, in a competitive situation, most people will take any edge they can, and it often get's ugly.
The irony is always, that all this pucker factor really doesn't have many beneficial economic effects, it's largely diseconomic, and can become, itself, a contractionary force.
