I want you to consider the way you phrased your statement, and compare it to the way I phrased my question.
You: "[The] reason for wage stagnation is that women hit the workforce"
Me: "because women weren't expected to have jobs"
The way you phrased your statement can be interpreted as saying that women are the cause of wage stagnation. Surely, that's not what you meant at all.
The way I phrased my statement implies that society, and the change in society's expectations of women, are the trigger. This shifts the "blame", if you will, from women, to everyone.
I realize I'm being nit-picky about words, but in my experience, women and minorities care about words a lot, and so taking care in the way you use words can help them be more receptive to your facts and ideas.
If you were nit-picky about words, you would realize that the entire post you quoted from was utterly inoffensive to anyone not trying to find offense. FFS, he (excuse me for assuming that) even said "I made no judgement on women working."
I really perceive no difference between those phrasings. I also don't have a strong desire to pander to those who go so far out of their way to avoid charitable interpretations. Fortunately, I know very few such people (male or female, majority or minority).
