Because, you know, you probably also made wages go down because you have twice as many people competing for the jobs, which economically would follow that employers don't have to pay as much because they have twice as many jobs.

Yeah, and...

So it seems like it was kind of a hoodwink sort of thing.

I don't know if anyone even intended for it to happen, but that's how it played out, right?

It was like all these families that are depending on two incomes and all the money just went into the real estate.

It didn't benefit the families.

And it left them in a very precarious position.

And so I think feminism was just a net negative for families.

Yeah, well, I mean, the story does talk about predictions that follow from this.

And it's not really all positive, but it does say that maybe countries that have less smartphones...

would have less of an issue.

And it does seem to be true based on the data that's available that parts of Eastern Europe and Africa don't have as much of this problem.

It says, you know, maybe the gap will narrow among women who have children because parenthood kind of breaks that feedback loop and gives you different priorities, which I talked about already.

And then

From there, though, it's like maybe some women will escape this trap of having this social media consensus engine running on them all the time.

Maybe it will be the ones that have children because that gives you a whole different set of priorities.

Maybe some men will stop withdrawing or stop rage scrolling and find something that's worth building and get into that.

essentially the system's going to keep running on everybody else.

And it seems like a negative force.

And, you know, Bill Ackman asked, why did this happen?
