A Bloomberg Opinion columnist apparently didn’t care too much for optics when she actually tried to characterize working-age men dropping out of the workforce as “progress.”
Bloomberg columnist Allison Schrager penned misandrist propaganda disguised as economic analysis in a piece that bore the headline: “Men Dropping Out of the Workforce Could Be Progress.” In her subheadline, Schrager celebrated that a decreased male representation in the workforce meant “economically empowered women are in a stronger position to support households with nonworking men.” She buried possible reasons behind this trend deep in the piece where she noted modern education being “generally better fitted to girls than boys” and the male dominant “opioid epidemic.” This shatters the rosy picture that Schrager initially presented. What about this screams “progress” rather than a social crisis?
Schrager made a growing number of nonworking men who are dependent on women sound like a good thing. She pointed to two men she knew — one being a well-off middle class man supported by his wife who works as a doctor and the other a drug addict who lives with his mother — and noted both as examples of female empowerment.
“These men are fortunate to have women in a position to support them. And it seems notable that the fall in male labor force participation has coincided with the rise of female employment,” Schrager wrote. “Women’s improved prospects raised household income and gave them more economic power. That progress has also made it financially viable for some men to drop out of the labor force, regardless of any other reasons that might drive the decision.”

We need affirmative action for men to survive in a country where women are the oppressive majority.
If you’re an older and white dude, no body wants you. Next.
Atlas Shrugged.
There will be more train derailments.
These people are true idiots, history teaches us well what happens when a societies population has to many idle men.
War is coming and it will be more barbaric than todays adult children could possibly imagine.
That’s what they want. They would be happy if all White normalsexual males were destitute.
Depends on what your definition of “progress” is.
If it means to eradicate men from the workforce then yeah....I guess so.
Hate to tell her this but there are some jobs that men are just naturally more suited for......just like there are some that women are better suited for.
Its not a popular notion these days but men and women are different in many ways....always have been....always will be.
Well, it’s obvious to even the less than casual observer that almost all real men have dropped out of the media. Tune in to CNN/MSNBC to see the dregs that are left. Not a drop of testosterone left.
>There will be more train derailments.
Indeed.
Good luck
“If you’re an older and white dude, no body wants you. Next.”
BUT they sure want our tax dollars so get back to work!!!
And what a marvelous place America has become because of this kind of progress. /s
Awful. All through the rotten, diseased lense of wokeness.
The problem with this from a societal standpoint is that women won’t marry men who make less than they do as a general rule. Men will, but women won’t.
Ergo if men are earning more, no problem. You still as a society get marriages and kids and society carries on.
If its the opposite however you get far fewer marriages, the birthrate collapses and with it a whole host of other problems ensue such as collapsing social welfare programs, exploding budget deficits, etc etc. You also end up with far more unhappy, maladjusted lonely people of both sexes.
Who is John Galt.
“Well, it’s obvious to even the less than casual observer that almost all real men have dropped out of the media.”
And here’s one reason why; this 2003 book deserved to be better known:
“Coloring the News: How Political Correctness Has Corrupted American Journalism”
https://www.amazon.com/Coloring-News-Political-Correctness-Journalism/dp/1893554600
“William McGowan opens the door to the newsrooms at “USA Today,” the “New York Times,” the “Washington Post” and other pillars of the “mainstream press” in this carefully researched investigation of how the quest for “diversity” has affected American journalism. Focusing on coverage of the “diversity issues” of immigration, race, gay rights, feminism and affirmative action, McGowan gives a fascinating analysis of what stories get reported and how. “
“Coloring the News” is an impressively documented and provocative book about how a journalism slanted by good intentions has allowed a narrow multicultural orthodoxy to restrict debate just at the point when information about America’s changing national identity needs to be robust, knowledgeable and honest.”
No. The women just marry government.
idle hands are the devils playground
