MQ agreed with 50% of what I said. Let me work in the communicating the other 50% and he will be fully converted!

MQ, one of the biggest problems of the last 40 years is the femininilization of work forces and governments. This happened mostly in Anglo countries. Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the US.

This is going to haunt OECD countries for a long time. Women are good at spending. Men are good at earning. During WWII women came in droves into ther work force.
Industry -war effort industry under the hands of technocrats- liked that cheap manpower the same way they like the Asian countries exporting their way out of poverty.

The salary of the male, which was going to be 100 dollars dropped to 60 and women were earning 40.

They became a double salaried couple earning the very same 100 dollars. The educational caste loved that! More seats sold to women pursuing a career.

But it is interesting to note that even though the OECD countries had those huge numbers of women in their work force the jobs continued to be sent abroad! They could not compete!

What could have been a good benefit to the economic it ended up as ballast. While in the beginning we had those women working in the typing pool and in the telecommunications company sowtch boards routing calls, once those jobs disappeared the women did not. They kept being hired!

That points to situation as women jobs as pseudo-jobs just to give them an appearance of being working. The bad effect is that while a non-working woman can make, educated and keep in line 4 kids, (Since women are good at that kind of natural thing). The "working" women could prepare -badly- a single kid! And if she was black she would be preparaing a street kid! Men saw working women as easy to dump since she could take care of the only kid they had.

The social impact was huge! (I am here waiting for Elroy's analysis on that sort of thing!)

Now who is going to stand up and say: Women are bad for business. Uhm, not many!

But they are.
