kahljorn Don't socioeconomic changes sometimes take a long time to make themselves completely apparant?
Plus there's other things that have happened along the way as well, like black rights and all that which made it so other people, besides the white male, had a bigger shot at the market too.

Why not blame civil rights and stuff like that as well? Are women the only employees that have surged the workforce?

there's other industrial and economic things that have changed beyond that, I'm sure, as there are always several things which have changed over a 100 year period of time; but I thought that might be the most appropriate since you're talking about the workforce itself expanding and causing this problem.

don't forget all those wars made it so there were a lot of unmarried/widowed mother's maybe WHO HAD TO HAVE JOBS.

Those were 20 years previous.

I think it'd be hard to show that feminism alone caused all of this and not any of the millions of other socioeconomic factors ;o
What other socioeconomic factor was there? I would like to hear your explanation other than blaming it on events that happened 20 years previously.

The feminist movement is hardly a Stand Alone Complex.
The outsourcing didn't begin until after the feminist revolution in the 1970s and 1980s and Detroit wasn't truly humbled until the 1990s as far as I know.

But outsourcing is a natural economic process. I am not mad about it so much. As wages get higher they need to have cheaper costs.

Paying 10,000 employees the Union demanded $28 an hour is not as good as paying 10,000 employees $3 an hour.

How sexist can you get, dick? You honestly think that women not being home to cook, due to getting jobs, completely destroyed the American diet? Yes or No.

You are a complete imbecile. I can't stop giggling at your reasoning.

My Idiot Room Mate

Act I

KK: You know what's wrong with 'Merica?
MattJack: Not now KK.. I'm trying to count the tiles on the ceiling.
KK: No, seriously! Just give me a chance this time!
MattJack: Fiinnnnee, but this is the last time.
KK: Alright! Yes! Ok, let me tell you, oh let me tell you what I figured out!
MattJack:
KK: OK I know why Americans are so fat now!
MattJack: Oh yeah? Do tell.
KK: YES! FEMINISM!
MattJack:
KK: OK GET THIS! Feminism thrusted, aka forced, women to work, and thus put us in a world where women wouldn't cook supper every night! Now since women can't be there to cook every night, heh, due to feminism, not only did it destroy the American family, but it also made households across America to rely on fast food 6-7 times a week WHICH IN TURN MADE US FAT AND DESTROYED OUR AMERICAN FOOD CULTURE!!!!! IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!
MattJack:


Act II

(KK walks in the apartment from a hard day at Staples)
KK: (mumbling)Stupid.. stupid women.. no.. stupid feminism.. ruining my, wages.. disenfranchising me..
MattJack: How was work buddy?
KK: (choking up)JUST TERRIBLE! ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!
MattJack: Calm down, calm down. Here let me make you some Spaghetti-Os.
KK: Thanks.. *sniffing* it's just.. it's just that damn! THOSE DAMN FEMS! (begins crying uncontrollably)
MattJack: Now, now! Come here, here take this tissue, you're getting snot all on the new tie I got you. Tell me, what happened today? Did you get swamped by elementary teachers again?
KK: Thanks, and no that's only when school starts up around September*sniff*. It's just, It's just that I don't make enough money! I feel like a failure! (begins sobbing again)
MattJack: Awww! You make enough money, buddy! Don't get down on yourself like that! Look, we can fix up your resume and get you a better job!
KK: No! It isn't my fault that I have a job that pays me like this!
MattJack: (brings Spaghetti-Os and blanket to KK) Oh it isn't? Then who's is it, Mr. KK?
KK: Thanks! You're the best MattJack! It's all the fault of those damn feminists!
MattJack:
KK: If the pool of workers for simple manufacturing work and services were to increase 20 or 30% over a decade, due to feminism thrusting women into the workplace, the wages would drop exponentially, right?
MattJack:
KK:Noww, men have to work longer hours.. ..to make up for the decrease of relative wages. THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF FEMINISM! (begins crying uncontrollably)
MattJack:

kahljorn I think if you remove h is assholeface from this then this is an interesting topic. What do these types of family structures cause. I DONT KNOW! maybe it's bad or maybe it doesn't actually matter.

Kulturkampf Feminism has a lot to do with it as it thrust women into the most competitive areas of industry which transofmred the normal household from one where the mother would be home to cook to one where the woman would be working similarly long and exhausting hours as the man.

The social ramifications go very far.

You notice that now you have to have a working mother to support most households? This was caused by the inundation of the labor market which increased nearly 100% if we are talking about taking half the population who normally wasn't working competitively and now having them do so. The worker was fundamentally disenfranchised.

Of course, women did not become lawyers and doctors overnight although that doesn't much matter when many men were working on Assembly Lines during this time.

If the pool of workers for simple manufacturing work and services were to increase 20 or 30% over a decade, the wages would drop exponentially. With that tipping things off, the women who chose not to work now almost have to work to support their family if we are talking working class / middle class families.

Men would also have to work longer hours and so would the women in the workforce to make up for the decrease of relative wages. The result is more women and men working right up until dinner time.

And who wants to cook dinner after an 8-12 hour shift?

This is true, much like technology is changing society in many ways. I know that many loved ones feel 2nd to the internet. Cell phones have made everyone available at all times. Home theater systems leave little desire to go out and see a movie.

But as far as putting the final nail in the coffin? I believe it is money issues.
