"Men have yet to recover all the jobs lost during the financial crisis."

Men never fully recover after a recession.

One thing that bugs me personally is it was one chance for women to actually help men through the recession, network, even support them in cases. But from what I've seen it's been the opposite, spitting on those who can't find work and deeming them disposable. It's been heartbreaking to watch and experience.

It makes me feel today's relationships are for monetary gain and security rather than love and compassion.

My industry sure hasn't recovered. Before the recession I worked as a geologist for an environmental cleanup company. My enire local office was liquidated. Suddenly, I found myself competing for a job with people that used to be my managers. Everyone got knocked down a rung on the corporate hierarchy and people without advanced certifications and experience were knocked off entirely.

While men have yet to recover, we will never will fully recover either. Main reason is being the education gap and that how more and more jobs being created are white collar degree required sort of jobs. And what blue collar jobs there are most are becoming skill based and that there is less non skilled blue collar jobs.

I don't really think we should use individual's own choices or lack of choices as an indicator of the oppression of the gender. For example, feminists saying that less women asking for promotions to high status corporate jobs is an example of patriarchy. Blaming society for the choices of individuals of a group is unfair.

I had a painful recession and finally landed a job which isn't full time and close to minimum wage. If anyone would like a listening ear maybe I can help.

I think it's a trend that we just can't stop. The dominant sector these days is the service sector which seems to attract women more than men. I think progress is going to require the acceptance of househusbands.
