You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you're going to double the freaking labor pool by letting women work and even encourage it, wages will go down. Increase the supply, prices go down. It's common sense. The way forward is to encourage women to be women and have many many babies, stay home, and care for the home. This would solve social security as well. This is the path forward.

Incidentally, since you're thinking along those lines ... why don't you eliminate men from the labor force as well? After all, if you shrink the labor pool, wages will go up!

I enjoy threads from the 1920s.

Everything under socialism is manipulated by the State to some degree. The answer isn't to keep meddling...it's to get out of the way.

But what if women don't want to go back to the Dark Ages? What's your solution then? Chain women up in their houses? Force them to cook and clean for you? Keep them barefoot and pregnant?

Maybe we should pass laws that prohibit women from earning money, having bank accounts, access to credit and credit cards. Smart Phones, too. Don't want to give them access to the outside world. That might give them ideas.

Perhaps we can go back to the days when a father owned his daughter and could sell her to the man who offered the biggest dowry. I bet you think those were the good old days, huh?

But first you're going to have to rescind that pesky 19th Amendment or those silly little women will just vote to keep their rights.

But hey, good luck with your Neanderthal dream society.

How about whoever the highest wage earner is in a partnership remain at work, while the other becomes a SAHP once they have children?

Seriously though, this isn't the kind of country we are. I honestly don't think the U.S will ever be desperate enough to enforce this kind of measure.

OP: Incidentally, if you personally don't like seeing women in the workforce and are unable to effectively compete with them for raises and promotions, there are still male dominated industries and workplaces out there - perhaps it is time for a career change? My husband's workplace has no women in his department at all.

The link(s) you provided to support the many details for your theory are quite compelling. Hard to argue with all those facts.
