Yeah. I kind of hesitated to post it for exactly that reason. It is not really exactly the take that I would have taken to any of what it is talking about. I do think some of the underlying facts are important and so I posted it anyway, but I do pretty much agree.
Specifically I think a lot more of what is happening is that “powerful” jobs are going away, and “underclass” jobs are becoming more common, and he’s interpreting that as “male” and “female” jobs respectively.
Yeah, a very superficial take. Even if we want to look at it from the perspective of male and female employment, there are so many topics that haven’t been breached. Then the whole discussion of the economic value that is being lost. It is a problem to replace a 100k job by a 50k job, but if the two salaries were equivalent would it still be a problem? Or is the problem that tech work also generate profits but care works doesn’t? So many ways to look at the matter without sexism making it “oh so sad, poor men”
