[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read the article.  Obviously, women should be treated as equals, etc, but I think it is worth asking questions about whether many of feminism's achievements have actually improved things for women.  Arguably, women now have to do everything a man has to do, in addition to everything that women do, and it doesn't seem like this is a good deal.  Men are miserable, women report the lowest levels of happiness in decades, and yet we can't question whether this is all working for us.[/quote]

This has nothing to do with the workplace. What you are noticing is that society can no longer depend on women's unpaid labor to function seamlessly. And women- rightfully so- are drained from being SAHM parents bringing in a paycheck. Men are drained from having to do anything besides go to work and come home and play golf on the weekends.

Its not feminism's fault. Its that the US capitalist system basically said BET and refuses to enact or support any structural societal change to support women in the workforce. The "support" for women in the workforce is use your salary to supplement what you would do at home and oh by the way if you choose to have children and be in the workforce make sure you dont vacation or get sick for 4 years so you can accumulate enough leave to recover from childbirth because we give such paltry leave.
