I am a single mother starting my doctorate, the Greed Over Principles can party can kiss my ass. They won't drive women out of the workforce. The majority of married couples live in 2 income households.

If companies can get the same or better productivity and can pay less when they hire women, women would get all the jobs. Just like "those" people.

on only one salary these days. When I started working I had two jobs for years because my starting salary was not so good (and I had a MS).
