Men Aren't Exactly Stampeding Back to Work

It's almost like past generations praised the providers for working hard to maintain not just a household, and a society, whereas today's providers are booed and forced to be ashamed.

Get drunk, have a one night stand, if she decides to be a mum, you now have to work to pay for her choice for the next 18 years 🎉🎉🎉

If that happened to me, I’d probably just stay at home and loose myself in computer games too rather than flogging my guts out in a dangerous job to fund someone’s lifestyle.

Why have women been so much more responsive to the change in labor demand than men?

No, it's that employers are hiring women instead of men, because they are women. Men are facing increasing employment discrimination in the name of diversity and gender norming.

The most obvious reason is that most of the women counted as not being in the labor force are still working, usually taking care of kids or elderly relatives. That is, they are generally ready and able to do paid work -- and if the pay is good enough, they can hire somebody else to take care of the kids or Mom or Dad. Men not in the labor force constitute a smaller, much more troubled group. Stronger labor demand will lure some of them back, but it may have to stay strong for a long, long time to reverse much of the decades-long decline in male labor-force participation.

Maybe if employers used some archaic ideas like hiring the best person for the job instead of hiring the best woman for the job?

Yea ill just keep working to pay for everyone else to duff off. I wonder why morale is lower than ever.

I can’t even begin to imagine why? I mean could it be that the majority of those men are white and people like Mrs. Gates actively discriminate against them? Why be in a rush to jump into the meat grinder when you know things are stacked against you?

Yeah, get back to work guys! The empowered single moms need your money! Also check your privilege and go fuck yourself!

I fit in the category of "looking for work" but I don't know how I would be counted in this statistic. Is it people who file for unemployment?

I wonder why.

Fuck Baby Boomers. Fuck their self-fulfilling sophomoric prejudices against men of my generation and paternalistic worship of and discrimination in favor of women who want to work.

got your wage gap right here... female labor force participation rate is 15 percentage points lower than male labor force participation rate

"2. Men have worse things to do"

Worse for WHO? I think devoting more time to things I enjoy, trivial as they may appear to be to observers, is a much BETTER thing to do than breaking my back to make some rich assholes even richer and getting a pittance for it.

Houses in my neighborhood are cheap, especially one that only needs to house a single man and his cat, and maybe a couple more pets later on. Why buy something bigger if I'd have to work so much to pay for it that I'd never have time to enjoy it? To impress some shallow gold-digger? To put a free roof over an ungrateful spouse and kids that there's a 50/50 chance the court would kick me out of some day?

Fuck. That.

It's because any woman applying will beat you to it anyway.

I would imagine a large part of the perceived lack of labor force participation is entrepreneurial / freelance / consulting work. Does anyone know how that is counted if the consultant is not running a payroll in his / her business?
