Those were 20 years previous.

all he's saying is that women wanting to work removed them from caring for their families. Then, all the extra employees ALONE somehow caused the entire economy to shift to where most families have to have two working parents in order to support that family, whereas before it would only be the father.
I think it'd be hard to show that feminism alone caused all of this and not any of the millions of other socioeconomic factors ;o

What other socioeconomic factor was there? I would like to hear your explanation other than blaming it on events that happened 20 years previously.

The feminist movement is hardly a Stand Alone Complex.

The outsourcing didn't begin until after the feminist revolution in the 1970s and 1980s and Detroit wasn't truly humbled until the 1990s as far as I know.
But outsourcing is a natural economic process. I am not mad about it so much. As wages get higher they need to have cheaper costs.
Paying 10,000 employees the Union demanded $28 an hour is not as good as paying 10,000 employees $3 an hour.
