So now you are stuck in a two income trap where even women who want to stay home and even dads who would love to have their wife home with their kids, it's really tough.
So why did women entering the workforce keep men's wages stable or keep them from going up along with the inflation?
It really fundamentally changed the economy.
I have a friend named Aaron Clary who wrote a book about this.
It's an analysis of what he calls a female-based economy, where it's more consumer-driven.
Women are responsible for 80% of consumer spending.
And now that they're all educated and in the job market, we have a lot more of things like HR departments, psychology, sociology, like
The economy shifted away from being like manufacturing and production and more male dominated things to we have all these women coming out of university.
And, you know, what do they get degrees in?
I think 80 percent of psychology degrees are earned by women.
And then despite all our efforts to push women into STEM, they're still like maybe 20 percent of STEM degrees.
So we have all these very educated women and we have a lot of kind of fluffy jobs like office jobs, HR jobs, social media managers.
And mostly women do a lot of the same things they used to do.
So they're nurses, they're early childhood educators, they're retail workers, they're cooks, they're housekeepers.
They're doing a lot of the stuff they used to do, which the Marxist feminists called unpaid labor, right?
This is the myth of women's unpaid labor.
So instead of cleaning your own house, educating your own children, cooking meals for your family, maybe for your
your parents or grandparents who can't cook for themselves, all the things we used to do for our own family, clerical work, bookkeeping for your husband's business, things like that.
We're doing those things for corporations.
