This is a fantastic video. Liberals are delusional about reality, and when the unintended consequences from government meddling make things even worse they think more liberalism is the solution.

I'm a business owner, and with a free market I don't care what gender my employees are as long as they can do the job well. But since the government requires bullshit like maternity leave I'm not going to hire women between 16-45 except on short term contracts - the risk to me is too great.

Their stupid policies have now made things worse for women. If as a result they start forcing me to hire 50% women I'll close down and move abroad, taking jobs and taxes with me.

Well done liberals!

There is a video of Milton Friedman explaining this exact thing to a woman in an audience who told him that there should be something done by the govt. to make sure women paid as much as men. It was linked up here and he destroys here argument using the same points you listed above.

What is sad is this video was probably from the late 1970's or early 1980's. Logic is not difficult, but liberals will fight against logic/reality tooth and nail. 40 years later and they are pushing for the same things that have failed for 40 years and hurt the very people the most who support it the most.

I don't think you can reason with most liberals/feminists. I guess just let them screw up their own lives and then give them a minimum safety net.
