I don’t know where the ‘new low’ is coming from.

When you go into any of these institutions/businesses take note of the ratio of male to female workers: pharmacies, public schools, banks, medical clinics and hospitals, customer service, tv news, tv advertisements, cashiers at the retail outlets, and the list goes on.

From what I see the vast majority are female. And has been for quite some time.

That’s caused by the GOP “war on women.” The goal is to get all women out of the labor force. /s

Any woman who is clever can send a good man out to work for her and his children? Keeping him happy and the kids in line is work.

Marriage works.

Just kidding!

Yeah, obama is a real sweet-talker. When he puts on his Barry White voice, it knocks them over. That almost always trumps logic.

....the number of women holding jobs declined by 357,000 from September to October...

Hmm, wonder where they went.
Bet there's a welfare increase from Sept to Oct that shows where many of them went.

It has been reported by Nestle that a 5% surge in the sales of Toll House chocolate chips is directly attributable to the continuing decline of women seeking places in the job market.

You’re right; I guess the guys are just around to move heavy objects. One of the benefits of the feminization of “work” is that guys that can get jobs usually don’t have to worry about women taking those jobs from them. I work with plenty of women, and none of them wants to come in as early, or leave as late, as me. I’ve cut my hours back to adjust to their schedules; I’m tired of working harder with little appreciate or additional pay.

Between the women themselves, there is a rift between the lower-level minority/foreign mothers and the better paid/more-skilled “Anglo-American” dog & cat people. Some of the white women, tired of seeing the mothers accomodated for their families, invent illnesses for their parents to lighten their workloads.
