re-read what he says. he says that open rights to women was used by capitalism as a way to reduce the benefits of everyone. which I agree with. Before you could raise a family with one salary. Now it is impossible. that is a fact, liberalism very often uses society revolutions against its own people. it is a nice coverup.

So if wages are flat or lower after inflation and cost of living adjustments, while profits are increasing, it's because women are working? That sounds unlikely.
I am not saying it is the problem. I am saying we re living in a system that profits from any social evolution and plays it against its people. and that is what Thiel is saying. He never says women are the problem. capitalism is.
"Before you could raise a family with one salary. Now it is impossible."

Demand and offer. If tomorrow some law allowed a couple to send their cat to work in a mine, our shiny lovely capitalistic system would adapt in a matter of months and we'd find that raising a family would cost what it costs today, plus a cat's salary.

The problem is elsewhere, and Thiel knows perfectly from where it comes.
