How does Coltrane believe increasing economic parity and more equal gender relations will affect the American family? Do you agree or disagree with his assessment? Why?

Coltrane: increasing economic parity and more equal gender relations will allow women to buy out of some domestic obligations and/or recruit their partners to do more. Middle and upper class women will rely more on working class women and will thus reduce their own hours of family labor while also perpetuating race, class, and gender hierarchies.
