As Layoffs Surge, Women May Pass Men in Job Force
But since this statistical anomaly is seen as some form of institutional discrimination, as taught in colleges ... ahem... oppression hissss...
Maybe this is a perfect excuse and time to let women do all the full time work while men do some minor chores and play video games at home or head to the golf course
Obviously this is a case of stupid logic fail, because certain sectors are overrepresented by men, and as the articles cites, that's because women choose ones different niches to spend more time with their children. Perfectly reasonable. This of course is also partially why the wage "gap" in general is as big as it is (not entirely mind you).The proportion of women who are working has changed very little since the recession started. But a full 82 percent of the job losses have befallen men, who are heavily represented in distressed industries like manufacturing and construction. Women tend to be employed in areas like education and health care, which are less sensitive to economic ups and downs, and in jobs that allow more time for child care and other domestic work.
