Some months ago a podcast was published titled “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” where two conservative women discuss whether the influence of women is corrupting white collar working environments, mostly arguing that it is. An edited transcript was later published as a New York Times column.

This piece was shortly afterwards renamed to “Did Liberal Feminism Ruin the Workplace” to damage control as it proved excessively controversial.

Of course, right wingers did not appreciate their contribution and found them to be part of the problem they discuss.

    Last year, the couple in the other half of the duplex in which I rent moved. A group moved in a few weeks later.

    They are a single mom, two younger kids, a teen, and a few unrelated friends. Three incomes at least to afford the rent of $2500, which is at least $700 more than the previous tenants paid - for under 1500 square feet. It’s the only way they all could afford to have housing.

    I didn’t even break a sweat, but thanks for your concern.

      Yes, and that’s with 40-hour week capitalism in reality.

      We’re talking about a fantasy world where increased worker productivity would lead to decreased hours. In said fantasy world. There’s no reason for the total salary to decrease just because hours worked did.
