What we really need is fewer men in the workforce

A Bloomberg Opinion columnist apparently didn’t care too much for optics when she actually tried to characterize working-age men dropping out of the workforce as “progress.”

Bloomberg columnist Allison Schrager penned misandrist propaganda disguised as economic analysis in a piece that bore the headline: “Men Dropping Out of the Workforce Could Be Progress.” In her subheadline, Schrager celebrated that a decreased male representation in the workforce meant “economically empowered women are in a stronger position to support households with nonworking men.”

She buried possible reasons behind this trend deep in the piece where she noted modern education being “generally better fitted to girls than boys” and the male dominant “opioid epidemic.”
