The economic crisis could increase the number of unemployed women by up to 22 million this year, the International Labour Organization (ILO) says.
In a report assessing employment trends for women, the ILO warns that they will not escape the downturn.

Jeff Johnson, author of the report, says: "The sectors that were initially impacted the hardest, which were finance, insurance and real estate, construction and manufacturing were often dominated by male workers.
"But as this crisis has played out, it's hit other sectors of the economy, service orientated sectors wholesale retail trade which in many industrialised economies are dominated by females."

Business with feminism or any other pathological social trend is unsustainable. Feminism must go away. And it will, as layer upon layer of Ponzi schemes supporting the bribe (debt) pyramid for extreme trade imbalances caves in. Speaking of caves, our bosses have to deal with their worthlessly pedigreed, radical social, left/liberal witches at home by themselves, or those few who survive the coming years will end-up living in caves. We will no longer be subjected to their shrews.
...and here I thought we were talking about female assassins!

World ends, women and children hard hit.
As I understand it, it will hit men as well.
Stupid article.
