The author confused a few issues, IMO.

    That may sound like a loaded question, but it’s difficult to overstate the long-run economic cataclysm affecting this particular group (and, by extension, working-class women).

To me, the 'by extension' part seems to suggest that men are on the front lines, and women should hold their complaint until the men are back on their feet.

The US is one of 4 countries in the world without guaranteed maternity leave. Women should raise hell, regardless of the recent misfortune of male workers.
