Since they are so burdened with disabilities, they should therefore be reduced in what they are able to do and should earn less. Nothing with too much stress, nothing with too much physical activity, nothing with long hours, so any position of management, directorial, coordinating, no law or financial, nothing that requires them to do anything that they suddenly have to take a week off of every month. Low-skilled, menial labor and customer service positions should be reserved exclusively for them and other disabled workers. This also means formerly mostly female positions like teaching are now barred from employing women, can't have them missing so many days, it's a distraction and disruption to the classroom.

I work in a female dominated industry with females above me in the organizational chart. I approve this message.

Women don't belong in the workforce. Simple solutions for solved problems.

Yep can confirm. Emanual Celler was a congressman and one of the two people to introduce the bill. He also happened to be Jewish, and supported Jewish refugees fleeing Europe in WW2. No ulterior motives here.

Didn't look too much into the other guy, he was Irish and didn't marry a Jew.

I'm only half joking. I'm not a proponent of the Jewish Question but the edginess around it from the alt-right and the pearl clutching from Zionist defenders is something I find funny. I am longtime friends with someone who lives and was born in Israel that I talk to on the daily and I find the whole thing hilarious.

Forest for the trees, lad.

It was the female workforce, you cant just see beyond the nose. Men could have refused the wage, but the idea of two incomes meant the declining wages were acceptable because the wife could work now.

“Companies decided they'd just rather pay people less“

That doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Women flooded occupations they already were predisposed to, which lowered their wages. They also flooded all kinds of office work which reduced those wages too. Then those steel mills & factories you mentioned suddenly had back offices (before computers) filled with women to handle the paperwork in air conditioned offices. Wages gains disappeared in the 70s due to this influx and resulting inflation of all these new salaries. Same old case of too many workers and not enough jobs.

These are utterly retarded arguments.

The amount of technology in cars? The cost to produce them?

Wow, the cost of literally every other piece of technology has decreased significantly over the last 20 years. I have in my pocket a computer with comparable processing power to my entire college university's computer labs back in the '90s, and it cost a tiny fraction of what I spent on the 486 that I purchased around '91. TVs are bigger, lighter, and higher resolution. I can't think of a single piece of technology that has gotten more expensive in that time.

But somehow cars are an argument that life has magically gotten more expensive since the '60s.

The changes in housing standards and building codes?

You clearly know nothing about modern construction. Codes are better, arguably, but craftsmanship is awful. Materials as well. I won't bother regale you with examples of how much better a house that was built in '62 is than most of the McMansions that get slapped together today because you probably wouldn't appreciate them, and would find some completely irrelevant way to blame it on women.

We get it, you don't want to have to take care of women. Your argument is still fucking idiotic. Instead you get to compete with them, and they can afford to undercut you because they have so many benefits that are unavailable to you.

Just stick to complaining about bad laws that favor women. That's actually reasonable. Every other thing you say and all your dumb complaints about whatever the fuck your made up "ConPro" label means just comes across as insane ranting.

– WhoIsThatMaskedMan 8 points 4 years ago +8 / -0

You're both right.

Having women in the workforce artificially deflates wages by keeping productivity down because of things like diversity hiring, lawfare, maternity leave, and other things nobody had to worry about back then. It doubled the amount of workers, but it lowered the average quality significantly, so now everyone has to suffer. Women can be fine workers, but we coddle them like children to the point where it rewards the bad ones and punishes the good ones.

However, cars and houses are objectively more complex than expensive than they used to be. Back in the 60s, a car was basically an engine inside a block of steel propped up on wheels. It might have had AC, if you were fancy, but that's about it. 90% of cars were abject horseshit. And as for houses, HVAC was exceedingly rare during the 60s except in the south, where it was still the exception rather than the rule. Wiring was also a joke, consisting of fabric-covered aluminum with no grounding wire, and they probably had fuses rather than breakers.

The only things that have actually gotten worse in home construction is that they so often go for plywood instead of hardwood floors, and the fact that they use siding instead of brick. Everything else is way, way better.

Regarding the houses, I worked in the construction industry for half a decade during Bush II. I am also a fifth generation timber man. Wood sold today is shit... and the guys putting the wood into houses have somehow gotten dumber.

If women aren't working that's up to half of the population removed from the pool of competition, allowing men to negotiate for higher wages. So keeping them fed and housed wouldn't be such a burden. I assume that's what the above comment was hinting at. You are free to remain MGTOW as well. That wouldn't change.

– WhitePhoenix 3 points 4 years ago +3 / -0

But those women do not fill the same positions as men do. I think that's the point - they DO dilute the labor pool though, but it's not a straight 50/50. A ton of these women just gravitate towards women-friendly positions - i.e. low effort, moderate IQ, "flexible" work hours, benefits packages, etc.

Doubling the workforce didn't automatically double the amount of janitors, construction workers, sanitation workers, etc.

What it DID do was cause certain fields to be overrun with them though. For one, teaching, and that's part of the reason why we have the shitshow we do. We have a disproportionate number of women in teaching and they're the progenitors of all this fucking grooming.

The solution, however, isn't just getting rid of this shit. The cat is out of the bag. It's gotta be back in culture and make it looked down upon to try to be the "man" in a relationship like it was back then.

The first step of the solution would be to get rid of all the illegal immigrants, that'd raise everyone's wages. Tariff goods. Put some reasonable limits on the H-1b workers.

Stop telling women to live for their careers and slowly change the culture so that many women become stay at home moms that do more side hustle stuff like ebay, writing, art.

Also as a whole. Stop men and women from going into worthless debt in college. that money is better spent on a home.

– WhitePhoenix 2 points 4 years ago +2 / -0

H-1b worker visa abuse is fucking irritating. They need to adapt Japan's immigration policy which requires you to basically already be established with employees and/or have an education if you want to get in via a work visa.

The requirements are over the top but it keeps the outsider population down.

You must be used to a different world than I am. Critical work is given to incompetent women ALL THE TIME. Hell I am currently watching as a massive multi-million dollar project is being blown up in real time because the female manager had a bad day a couple of months ago and refuses to fix a mistake she made.

There are a lot of make work jobs but removing women from important positions would open up a lot to competent men and have a massively positive effect in the industry.

That said, if we really want to fix the problem all their rights have to go out the window.

Assuming that most women hold make-work jobs, then the company without them would have more profit, and therefore more willingness to negotiate better pay for the people actually generating that profit.

The Big Three effectively ran a cartel on American vehicles which charged high prices with shoddy manufacturing. Imports rebalanced this.

Housing prices have gone up corresponding to immigration. We grew 200 million people since 1965. Had those 200 million not shown up, we’d be hitting 200 million people TOTAL right about now and housing would be dirt cheap no matter how big the houses were.

That's giving him too much credit for having a plan. He doesn't have one, he simply reacts knee jerkingly in whichever direction is against women without a thought for any other effect.

That's why despite me asking a dozen times now, he has never answered "so what is your goal for them."

Most health insurance plans already cover medicines that make periods disappear or greatly reduce, so if it is a recurrent issue, there's medical accommodations.

Yeah, I've been hearing occasional demands for this kind of policy for like a decade now. You know, because women are amazing and productive workers who deserve to be paid more than men to compensate for past imaginary inequalities, while also being unable to work about 1/4 of the time because somehow literally every single feminist on the internet suffers from crippling cramps every month. Crazy how nature do that.
