that is to say that the increasing elimination of labour through the expansion of technology is happening at the same time as increasing female participation in the labour market. this has led to structural unemployment levels, and it is single men who have been most affected by it.
there's a lot of reasons why this could be seen as progress, and the rising problem of unemployment for single men as collateral damage. but, this is a short-sighted way to look at things. there are costs to unemployment that all of society - including employed women - need to pay. if you're one of the social engineers at the top, you need to weight positives off against negatives and work out cost-benefit analyses.
does the higher level of talent that women bring to the workforce offset the necessary deadweight created by increasing male unemployment? and how is the system to react to forecasts for increasing levels of structural unemployment?
all of this is creating an alliance between certain progressive strains of thought and certain conservative strains of thought to put greater emphasis on the role of the family, as it is the most profitable way for the elite to order society.
as an anarchist, i realize that liberal approaches to feminism are not emancipatory. one is not less free in the family than they are in the workforce - these are two broadly equivalent expressions of slavery. true emancipation can only be achieved by abolishing currency relations and working towards full communism. but, it has long been understood that the perception of freedom is more important than the actualization of it. it is enough that you think you are free.
the economics of the situation are not up for question; they're agreed upon across the spectrum (for an example of a flat-out marxist thinker that believes that individualist feminism will collapse capitalism as we understand it through mass unemployment, see richard d. wolff). so, we're going to be seeing an increase in this kind of brainwashing in the near future.
it's back to the kitchen, ladies. a technology-based economy can only support a fraction of the jobs, and it's just cheaper to convince you to stay home than it is to hand out welfare checks for single dudes.
