Obviously women should have the same labor opportunities as men, but do you really think doubling the pool of workers would have no impact on the labor market?

It only becomes MRA bullshit when you stop there and say "see, feminism was a mistake!" instead of arguing for all workers to be better compensated.

Why are you talking about hypotheticals?

Some women worked before then, some still didn't work after.

It was a lot closer to a 10% increase than 100%

I'm not talking about hypotheticals; women generally didn't work, and a couple decades later they did. The effective labor pool expanded.

I'd quote a part, but you should really read the whole thing.
