Domination in the workforce

“This would be really weird,” by David Warlick talks about how women are taking over the workforce. I do believe this is weird because not to long ago, women were not suppose to work, they could work if they wanted to, but it was looked down upon. Women now represent 49.83% of the workforce in the United States. This number is expected to rise to about 50% by November. This puts hope in my heart looking at how much women have come over these years. Now that the subject is brought up, I think of how many kids that I know have stay at home dads, or full time working parents. When a little girl has a business woman for a mom, this shows that they can do anything they want in their lifetime. I always think back to an episode of “The Nanny” when Fran was a little kid and she wanted to be a business woman for Halloween. Her mother was frightened because she wanted Fran to be a bride. The two ideas show the difference between times and what has changed. Fran’s mother wants her to carry on the tradition and her way of thinking. Fran wants to start the next generation of living and thinking. I know that this was supposed to be a joke within the show, but still it can show the change.
The blog, “This would be really weird,” also talks about how many men have lost jobs in the years past compared to women. The reason for this is that more women have jobs in the fields that have not had to downsize. As for men, they have lost out. More men work in the field of construction and manufacturing. These areas have been roughly affected by the recession. The first question I asked myself from reading this is why are more men in those fields? Now yes, I understand that because of guys being made the way they are they can build up more strength and endurance faster then women can, but there should be some women thrown in there, otherwise it means that men are in for a real loss. Women have dominated health care and government, and these areas have not seen the losses that construction and manufacturing have seen. Now the average reader might question why I said “dominated,” well it is simple. I just have this video in my head, and I see my grandma in her kitchen showing my grown cousins how to do some simple things. My grandma’s kitchen is her territory and if someone messes with it, they are out of there faster than lightening. So, my point is, women take over things with great force and that the men have to stand aside otherwise they might get into a horrible debate.
Mr. Warlick asks the question, “As the conditions that we live, play, and earn a living in continue to change, are we going to be able to adapt?” A few other questions come up when I read this; first, will women start to take over the areas that they have not already? Then, will all women workers finally get equal pay to men? Also, will the men adjust to the domination of women in the workforce, or will they keep fighting for their jobs at certain companies?
