Yup. And empowering means not discriminating! My mom was empowered to get a BS summa cum laude etc, with a double major in math and physics. But the only jobs she got offered were secretarial. That was in 1954. So she got married and had me in 1955 (oh hey, exactly 66 years ago today).
It was interesting growing up, knowing I wouldn’t exist if there were no sexism.
