To be completely honest, I've said for years that women are the single greatest reason for unemployment. When 50 years ago the majority of workers were male and then you almost double the work force, you can try to have enough jobs but those jobs that men were doing exclusively back then are no longer theirs.
Hell, I saw a stat somewhere that there are now more women in medical school than men. That's insane considering that it was not just male dominated 50 years ago, it was considered just a male profession.
My intent is not to sound misogynistic here, just stating a fact. And when those who talk about returning to 1950s values (ahem, some Republicans) think of what that means.

I'm trying to think up a way to link those spikes in unemployment to notable events in the history of the women's rights movement, but it's not happening.
