Yet, of course, a greater proportion of these jobs that women have are either part-time or of modest pay. And many of these women can only afford to take a part-time or lowwer paid job because they are being supported by a man! (either directly: a husband or boyfriend, or indirectly: by generous benefits from the taxpayer (who is mostly male)).
The questions that aren't being asked are: How are women going to react if they increasingly become the only or main breadwinner? How is our society going to be affected by an ever-increasing population of out-of-work men? Whats going to happen to all these women in the public sector if we have to massively cut-back on taxpayer spending in this area (as the dire state of our public finances will surely demand)? Also, if women are so prevalent in being employed in the public and service sectors, someone needs to look into whether there is a bias against men applying for jobs in those areas.

I am not at all good at predicting the future. That said this is what I see. I think the future will be pretty shabby. It will be shabby for both men and women. However, women will be relatively better off. I don't see women in the public sector being jobless any time soon. I think the social structure as it is now will increasingly entrench with men further slipping into oblivion. I see what little men have being taken away from them.
Women have always taken things away from individualism men. When I was a boy the folk law had it that the man would hand over his pay packet as he entered the door at the end of the week. The wife would then return to him a some amount of 'pocket money'. This is what I understood to be normal as I grew up.
The same sort of thinking works now but it is at a higher level.
Writing this just reminds me of how much I hate women.
