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.

    I would argue that women ruined the economy by way of suddenly doubling the available workforce. That sort of thing has got to cause issues.

    On the other hand, my education on the subject consists of one class that I’m pretty sure I failed.

    Further, the alternative is for women to be unable to make their own way, and that is not acceptable.

      We should just halve the length of the standard workweek. Everyone works 20 hours a week instead of only the men working 40 hours a week. That’s fair.

      I get what you’re saying and agree but I’d maybe find a better way to phrase that lol

      The response to this by business owners is really what ruined the economy. Women entering the workforce drastically increased the amount of available employees which allowed employers to pay less.
