  • implying over 600,000 women have absconded

    Interesting phrasing here. It could be construed as saying that women are shirking work.

    Also, the conclusion seems a bit simple. The number of babies being born has gone up a bit, therefore these women are leaving the workplace to become traditional mothers.

    Considering how many couples have basically given up on having kids due to the cost of living; and how the cost of living has gone up even more sharply this year; this conclusion seems suspect. Other questions should be asked. Like what are the regions of where these babies are born, and the political leanings of their parents.

    Maybe women are generally leaving the workplace because of a shrinking job market and/or AI, and a pushback against DEI hiring (which would favor white straight men). And a small number of them are really keen on having kids, and that’s making it look like a broader trend across the entire national demographic.


  • Strong agree on the lack of punctuation.

    Medium has become a bit of a cesspool for low-effort hot takes. Sometimes the articles make a great point but are not very well written (as is the case with this one). But more often than not they are a single, unfounded, absurd rage-bait argument that’s been spun out into an article with the help of AI.
