So one could argue that women working is the root cause of this "evil" (if you believe it to be so).

This is an interesting point. Most of the same preachers who preach against pants because they're "masculine" have no problem with women working outside the home. They say pants are a spin-off of the women's lib movement, so must be wrong and indicative of a rebellious attitude. But a woman having a career is not? I know many churches who actively encourage women to work outside the home, and apply pressure to those who don't.
That seems to be a great contradiction.
Not saying I think it's wrong for women to have careers, it's just an interesting thought process that condemns one but not the other.
