Fighting fire with gasoline

"As a matter of of logic, feminism contributed to unemployment be putting more workers in the job market. Right or wrong, more workers means more people vying for "x" number of jobs, therefore higher unemployment."

You can call it logic if you think the world is flat. The idea that women entering the marketplace led to higher unemployment is laughable. First, it assumes that all men are entitled to jobs and women are not and that women only get those jobs by taking them from men. Second, it assumes that the job market is static, which it's not. By Bullard logic, we should have all starved to death by now because as more people have been born each year, there was only "x" amount of food to feed us. Somehow we're all still living.
