Did Feminism Destroy The American Diet?

[kahljorn]

I think if you remove h is assholeface from this then this is an interesting topic. What do these types of family structures cause. I DONT KNOW! maybe it's bad or maybe it doesn't actually matter.

The social ramifications go very far.

How sexist can you get, dick? You honestly think that women not being home to cook, due to getting jobs, completely destroyed the American diet? Yes or No.

The worker was fundamentally disenfranchised.

You are a complete imbecile. I can't stop giggling at your reasoning.

My Idiot Room Mate

Act I

KK: You know what's wrong with 'Merica?
MattJack: Not now KK.. I'm trying to count the tiles on the ceiling.
KK: No, seriously! Just give me a chance this time!
MattJack: Fiinnnnee, but this is the last time.
KK: Alright! Yes! Ok, let me tell you, oh let me tell you what I figured out!
MattJack:
KK: OK I know why Americans are so fat now!
MattJack: Oh yeah? Do tell.
KK: YES! FEMINISM!
MattJack:
KK: OK GET THIS! Feminism thrusted, aka forced, women to work, and thus put us in a world where women wouldn't cook supper every night! Now since women can't be there to cook every night, heh, due to feminism, not only did it destroy the American family, but it also made households across America to rely on fast food 6-7 times a week WHICH IN TURN MADE US FAT AND DESTROYED OUR AMERICAN FOOD CULTURE!!!!! IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!
MattJack:


Act II

(KK walks in the apartment from a hard day at Staples)
KK: (mumbling)Stupid.. stupid women.. no.. stupid feminism.. ruining my, wages.. disenfranchising me..
MattJack: How was work buddy?
KK: (choking up)JUST TERRIBLE! ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!
MattJack: Calm down, calm down. Here let me make you some Spaghetti-Os.
KK: Thanks.. *sniffing* it's just.. it's just that damn! THOSE DAMN FEMS! (begins crying uncontrollably)
MattJack: Now, now! Come here, here take this tissue, you're getting snot all on the new tie I got you. Tell me, what happened today? Did you get swamped by elementary teachers again?
KK: Thanks, and no that's only when school starts up around September*sniff*. It's just, It's just that I don't make enough money! I feel like a failure! (begins sobbing again)
MattJack: Awww! You make enough money, buddy! Don't get down on yourself like that! Look, we can fix up your resume and get you a better job!
KK: No! It isn't my fault that I have a job that pays me like this!
MattJack: (brings Spaghetti-Os and blanket to KK) Oh it isn't? Then who's is it, Mr. KK?
KK: Thanks! You're the best MattJack! It's all the fault of those damn feminists!
MattJack:
KK: If the pool of workers for simple manufacturing work and services were to increase 20 or 30% over a decade, due to feminism thrusting women into the workplace, the wages would drop exponentially, right?
MattJack:
KK:Noww, men have to work longer hours.. ..to make up for the decrease of relative wages. THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF FEMINISM! (begins crying uncontrollably)
MattJack:

[Jeanette X]

You have won this award as being an exceptional newbie, MattJack.

[sspadowsky]

MattJack as KK is more concise, and way funnier than KK could ever hope to be on his own.

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.

[kahljorn]

Don't socioeconomic changes sometimes take a long time to make themselves completely apparant?
Plus there's other things that have happened along the way as well, like black rights and all that which made it so other people, besides the white male, had a bigger shot at the market too.

Why not blame civil rights and stuff like that as well? Are women the only employees that have surged the workforce?

there's other industrial and economic things that have changed beyond that, I'm sure, as there are always several things which have changed over a 100 year period of time; but I thought that might be the most appropriate since you're talking about the workforce itself expanding and causing this problem.

don't forget all those wars made it so there were a lot of unmarried/widowed mother's maybe WHO HAD TO HAVE JOBS.

Most feminists are ugly fat and pretty much unfuckable and I think that's something we can ALL get behind.
